Microsoft have set a precedent of unnecessary vile arrogance towards Linux and the companies you cite here don't. I think that is fundamentally why most people have responded with scepticism.
For me, defining something *good* and *bad* based on supposed intentions are not really convincing. Unless it's a malware in the sense that it has some backdoor or something, I see no reason to condemn it, whomever wrote the software. To go a bit further, I think we should not treat any package special based on authors.
I mean, we don't even know all the people who contributed to the Linux Kernel are (well,.. I suppose technically you can, but you know what I mean).
