And them not giving anything back (assuming it's true, I don't know) has harmed the linux community how exactly?

The Linux community is probably put in exactly zero effort to help out Motorola. The linux community does what it does and if people like it and what to use then, hey that's great. Stick to the license and we're all happy.

So, why not simply use a BSD-style license, if you're not concerned about harm to the Linux community?
