If you bought a product from them, they aren't a patent troll. That's the clever bit. Patent trolls don't make products, so they can never be sued for infringement themselves, taking cross-licensing off the table as a settlement option. The troll just sits under the bridge and waits for a company to take the financial risk of developing and marketing a product, then collects its toll.
Apple really isn't a patent troll, because they actually make products. Neither is the highly litigious Motorola, who was threatening to sue other Android manufacturers before they were acquired. I often wonder if Google bought Motorola to protect Android from Apple and Microsoft, or to protect Android from Motorola.
Probably all of the above.
