I think that such behavior should be presumed not to be a patent
troll. Patent trolls are not known forpromising to give away
royalty-free licenses.
They are also, in general, known for *not* particpating in
the standards process, precisely to avoid falling under
patent disclosure requirements. As far as non-participants
are concerned, nothing in our rules matters.
