Linux/Java has topped CEO Ed Zander's list things to look for from Motorola as it attempts a financial turnaround. At a New York press conference this morning, Zander introduced Linux-based 'Rokr' and 'Razr2' [photos|video] models, along with new top-level executives. Native SDKs won't be available.

Because they want people who make changes to the kernel to give those changes back.
If you are happy with the kernel the way it is and don't make any changes then you have no obligations. The sentiment among some free software people seem to be that if you use the Linux kernel you should open your entire API and make your entire platform open for everybody to develop on.

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.
