Well, specific contributions to the project (imagine, for instance,
native Cognos support) which are hosted elsewhere, and are closed
software, but which involve (for example) significant advocacy work
on the part of the supporting organisation, still seem to be a case
covered by Josh's original question. If Oracle did a "Power of
Linux" advert, I think it'd still be a contribution to Linux, no?
