Actually it wasn't contentious at all! Nitobi already had plans to donate to the Apache Foundation, and Adobe already had strong existing relationships with both organizations. We were glad to support that move to reinforce that we're here to support PhoneGap and further fuel its growth as a free open source project.

Can you point to anything in Adobe's history that would indicate it is a company that has any clue how to "fuel the growth" of a "free open source project"?

The first example off the top of my head is Adobe's involvment in jQuery development.
