Indeed, also one needs to investigate if the 503c organizations that claim to be in "the public interest" are really in "the private interest".

Many software foundations serve their directors and the power of a select group of developers, do not fund actual development and largely serve as self-marketing and propaganda groups.

Your sweeping statement would have more impact if you offered some examples of foundations you think only serve themselves.
