The expression "for profit" is indeed inappropriate.

However, with the understanding of what the poster meant, it does make sense. We're talking about the company whose racket produces 10$ avg for each Android phone sold.

I'm talking especially about those FAT patents, which are against the spirit of patenting (independently of being in favour or against patents).

I understand that big companies are big and internally conflicting, however, I see a radical conflict of interest between their newfounded open source responsibility and their ruthless business attitude.
