It's interesting to see open-source foundations get corporate patrons. Like Ubuntu's relation with Amazon.

That's always been the case. (Linux < IBM, Oracle, Redhat. FreeBSD has corporate sponsors and so on).

For any project to succeed, it's going to need some kind of funding. And often that means turning to big businesses, who have deeper pockets than all of us little people combined.
