AFAIK the Linux Foundation only has corporate members, and has a board which only (big) private companies can vote for. Only corporations which pay $500k per year can vote for 50%+ of the board. Currently LF "Platinum members", who (now) get 1 board member each (out of 22) AT&T, Cisco, Fujitsu, Google, Hitachi, Huawei, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, NEC, Oracle, Qualcomm, Samsung, Tencent and VMWare.
