For the commitment to be meaningful at all, it has to be partially binding, which could be exploited. And a totally nonbinding one could just as easily be given by a patent troll.

A non-binding and less-meaningful commitment would still be something. They could easily start there and they have not.


I don't see what they'd gain from that. Also, could calling your own patents "defensive" be seen as admission that they're bogus?
