don't "think"? This isn't that they don't think verizon is giving away the source, this is verizon not giving away the source. And unlike patent trolls, people who write code under the GPL don't want to make money, they just want their projects to not get stolen. Patent trolls say, please, someone don't notice that we have this ambiguous patent, GPL licensers say, please, notice that we wrote this and it's helpful but make sure everyone benefits from our work and not just you.
