Google actually gave up the title of "corporation good"
Recently 
Apple, Cisco and Microsoft were almost united, proposing IEEE - the organization responsible for the adoption and certification of telecommunications standards - to develop "fair, transparent and understandable" licensing terms for technologies that are fundamental to the industry. Each company from the troika has patents for similar technologies, and further escalation of patent wars will lead to unpredictable consequences.
Apple, Cisco and Microsoft came up with a free basic technology licensing, but Google decided it would be too noble for them.
Therefore, in response, Google delivered an open letter entitled "Fair licensing of Motorola patents." In it, she said that she considered fair a commission of 2.25 percent of the value of any device that uses Motorola patented technology. Under this definition falls, for example, a patent on 3G cellular communication, from which Apple has already managed to suffer ...

It is curious to look at the evolution of Google thinking. A year ago, the entire management of the company complained that Microsoft and other “patent trolls” stifled the Android platform with their lawsuits, trying to make “Google Phone” more expensive. At the same time, Google vehemently called for a review of patent law. However, these appeals were forgotten after the Motorola patents fell into the hands of Google six months ago. The temptation was so great that now the “corporations of good” patent law reform is not needed. Moreover, it was rejected there when the initiative was supported by key players in the market.

In the 50s of the last century, the Soviet Union found an amazing uranium deposit in Antarctica. Prior to this, only the States somewhere in Africa had a mine of a similar quality.
Literally right there, “all progressive countries” dragged a project to ban mining in Antarctica.
So everything is as usual - look for who benefits. Do you think Apple, Cisco and Microsoft from pure altruism suggested this? Probably, they felt Chuck Norris sneaking up on them quietly from behind ...
