They have a strong tradition of opensourcing their products. So they most probably will.

Big companies create a lot of projects, some of them are bound to be in Java. I in no way intended to state Java was the only language for business applications.

  Apache has a pretty good framework for "crossing the t's and dotting the i's" in legal terms for code contributions, so that big companies know that all the code is accounted for and there are no nasty legal surprises lurking - in theory.

That sentence exactly summed up the point I was trying to make.

Apache offers stewardship for projects of a certain size. That is they have to be big enough to accept the overhead of having for example a vice president of the project.

Big companies create big projects. Big companies create projects written in Java.

Big companies wants a steward for their projects to welcome outside contributors.

  Project - Company - Commercial Product
  Geronimo - IBM - Websphere (parts)
  JackRabbit - Adobe - Adobe AEM
  Felix - Adobe - Adobe AEM
  Apache CXF, Apache Camel - Red hat - Fuse
  Apache Sling, Adobe, Adobe AEM

I am sure there are other examples.
