Fortunately the license forces them to contribute the code back

It doesn't. It would only do so if they distributed their modified kernel to others, rather than simply running it on their own servers.

They chose to contribute their changes upstream anyway, presumably so they aren't burdened with having to adapt them to every new kernel version in the future. Fortunately, we stand to benefit as a side effect of that decision.
