Why did Prince cover Foo?

I like many people was pretty surprised when Prince covered the Foo Fighters song “Best of You” during the Super Bowl half time show. The Foo Fighters were just as suprised as you and me because Prince wasn’t happy a few years back when the Foos covered his song Darling Nikki on an Australian release. He even said to Entertainment Weekly that he didn’t appreciate the Foos (or anyone else) covering his work, and that Grohl and company should “write [their] own tunes.”
So, was Prince covering the Foos because he’s a fan or because he wanted to flip them the bird? Regardless of why Prince did it, it was awesome.
