There is one thing I'm not sure anyone has talked about yet. When a corp entity 'donates' or provides funding for a specific feature, they will usually want a timeline for the completion of it. I personally feel there is a distinction between being 'paid' for a feature, and 'funding' a feature. Where the funding route is still in spirit of the project. Sadly it seems that a lot of open source projects even if used widely are still powered by 'spirit' rather than anything else.
