It's really twisting things in order to fit a wierd corporate narrative on FOSS.
"Even companies like GE are helping to fund noncommercial software, having con- tributed $105 million to Pivotal, the home of projects like Cloud Foundry." Uh... they invested for a 10% stake in a for profit company which creates commercially focused free software, among other things. The corporate doublespeak runs deep.
Reminds me generally of orielly's screwy agenda http://www.thebaffler.com/salvos/the-meme-hustler
