I am not my employer's lawyers, nor am I the lawyers for any of the 
other folks who've spoken up about the IPR issues over the years. But 
these folks apparently feel that there's something different between 
"specification developed in an open standards process" + "licenses to 
listed IPR available from patent pool" and "some code Google says is 
free" for whatever reasons they have.

You'd have to ask them to see why that's different.
