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.
