Actually I'm glad there are (non profit) Python/Perl/Ruby etc foundations. I don't see that as corporate branding, but <language name> branding, e.g. owner of the trademark, receiving donations, running conferences.

Correct, I don't count a software foundation as a corporate branding. I see it as a positive.
