Community support and development is a principal strength of open source development. And it is increasingly apparent, at least to us, that such presence is best led by the community, even for technologies initially developed within a corporation. Adobe is beginning to understand the advantages of such independent foundations, through not only releasing Flex, but also projects such as PhoneGap, or contributing to project like Apache Felix. While Adobe cannot speak for more than ourselves, we believe that market-significant and/or complex projects would do well to consider support and drive from foundations such as Apache, to help create free and open environments of collaboration.

A minor comment on one sentence...
"To that end, Adobe will only have minority representation on the initial committers list."
As I understand it, companies don't have representation in Apache projects. Individuals do, that may or may not belong to a given company, and that may or may not be operating with their employer's backing.
It'll be good to have participation by people with access to the resources of the original contributors. But it's participation by people. Whether or not those people represent Adobe is between Adobe and them.
Just so Adobe understands that's a consequence of the code grant.
Looks interesting, though. Given AOO, is this suggesting a trend of major companies transferring code and communities to Apache?
