I asked myself that same very question many moons ago and
to
tell you the
truth... I haven't got an answer for that yet.

At the very least is seems clear to me that nobody should ever put their patents
under FRAND patents going forward.
Apparently a patent is extremely valuable, unless it's FRAND, at which point it
is:
* unenforceable
* not collectable
* cannot get injunctions for infringement
* not worth much, even if you can negotiate something
* not usable a counter-weapon against the threat of non-FRAND patents
* contrary to what FRAND is supposed to mean, you can't require the other side
to license its patents to you on similar FRAND terms
So if FRAND has only negatives and no advantages, then why ever contribute a
patent as FRAND ever again?
Just IMO.
