Ubuntu is mentionned in the article  as one example of a project that
uses the concept of a foundation:

"Although Red Hat feels that a nonprofit foundation isn't suitable for
its needs, there are many other open source projects (including other
Linux distributions) that do use foundations. Established by Mark
Shuttleworth in July 2005 with an initial funding commitment of US$10
million, the Ubuntu Foundation was designed to preserve the autonomy
of the Ubuntu project, and distinguish community efforts from the
commercial endeavors of Ubuntu sponsor Canonical. The Ubuntu
Foundation has largely succeeded in its goals, and as a result, the
Ubuntu project has drawn a number of contributors from other projects.
