I said this in 2006:

    "I think that contributions should have come first from the vendors,
    secondly from the corporate users, and thirdly from individual
    users. But the response has been almost entirely the opposite, with
    almost a 15 to 1 dollar ratio in favor of the little people. Thanks a
    lot, little people!"

As a non-director, I do not have any more insight into the current
ratios of contributions to the Foundation, other than their annual
financials which anyone can find.

However I suspect it would take many years of big company money to
move that ratio forward from a 20 year pattern...

However you used a specific word that bothers me.  Honestly, I don't
see proof of any meddling, if I saw it, I would care deeply about it.
You'll have to be significantly more detailed before raising what
might appear as an allegation, supposition that it might occur in the
future is simply not enough.  Even your tiny hint is an attack on our
character.  I am not going to take that lightly.
