Some definitely are, but I think you're right to keep an eye out. I don't think that the thing open source needs is more foundations with compensated presidents and community managers and fundraising departments

We shamefully hear too much about the bad foundations (especially Mozilla and Wikimedia).

The good foundations remain working quietly in the shadows.
