Don't those things primarily apply to projects and the community (of
people) working with Eclipse projects directly?

By "ecosystem" I count in all Eclipse members as well. I do have some
doubts that we can "influence" the large corporations in any of their
strategic decisions. That's why I don't think that a statement like this
should be written into the bylaws.

The things we do and the resources (guidelines/practices/tools) we
provide may have an (hopefully positive) influence on developers working
with Eclipse projects within those corporations. That's a very positive
aspect of what we do. But IMHO it doesn't classify to be written into
the bylaws.
