I think it is well established by now that this .NET Foundation is ultimately answerable to Microsoft. Also, Claire - who started the "kerfuffle" - is a Microsoft employee.
Given how especially Scott always has a big opinion about how great OSS is and how much Microsoft loves OSS, and given how it was ultimate MS employees that were responsible for creating this current distrust, I think it would be very appropriate for them to voice their opinion about this.
And, who knows, maybe they are doing something behind closed doors. But I very much doubt they'll embarrass their employer by speaking up in public. They know who pays their salary and are much to good at corporate politics to do that.
