Just follow the money trail if you want to know what agreements are
in place. The OSDL funding process is open if you look a the membership

As a non-profit OSDL is under close scrutiny by IRS and the member companies.
There are non hidden agenda deals here.
Companies with direct sales to end-users are always making partner
