Sorry, but I still see in your words the same misunderstanding between 
Foundation and Community that generated my initial reply in this thread.

IMO, if a corporation wants to have a word in a decision about where the 
project goes, it should join the Foundation and respect its rules.

Any other type of contribution is surely appreciated but, IMO, it's very 
far from granting a *right* to influence where the project goes.

Maybe, this consideration depends on what foundation are in my country: 
very strong and well defined legal entities that are different from a 
simple association.

Sincerely, I still see the "Foundation affair" a bit too foggy and I'm 
not sure I'll like it at the end.
