Isn't that going a bit too far? While I agree that selfish interest and the rest are undesirable qualities (at least in others ;) , attributing those qualities to all corporates is a bit extreme.
After all, Sun and Red Hat (both large corporates) employees have played an invaluable role in keeping software patents away from us so far.
