You write this as if it summarizes the discussion, but of course the discussion we can all read here says the opposite: Google's legal concerns are probably not false, and are concerns for multiple other organizations; not only that, but Google has ample reason to be particularly concerned about these kinds of IP issues.
Possibly, but I think it is fairly clear how it would help Google to do the second. (To be explicit: I'm not saying they are doing this. But there are others here arguing that this is just not something they could be doing, which is absurd.)
