So? They are open source projects. Linux isn't a piece of software like us
either.

No, Apache is very dominated by IBM, at least they were a year ago ... I've
heard lots of bitching about it from their mailing lists and nasty politics.
Other projects that I'mm pretty sure aren't corporate-run: Samba, Abiword,
Gnucash, Webmin, OpenGroupware, Hordemail.
I believe that KDE is rather dominated by SuSE these days, but I could be
wrong.
