Is this why Intel is so uncooperative??
no, not at all. We have not in almost 8 years had any complaint related to IP or release of NDA or any such problem.
Intel's lack of cooperation is driven, from what they have told me, by their concerns related to releasing chipset information that they consider (their words) "crown jewels".
Intel is also in the BIOS business, and (former) intel people have told me that Intel see LinuxBIOS as a competitor. This perceived competition could also be an issue.
