The article assumes healthy open source communities, not open source communities that are offshoots or parasites of commercial companies.
Assumptions are many times incorrect. Similarly, I wouldn't disregard an open source community just because it may be based on an open source variant of a commercial software version.
The article title, "How Companies Can Effectively Contribute To Open Source Communities" itself assumes that because the company is contributing to the community, not the reverse.
Which other thriving communities have been consulted? If all assumptions in the document are based solely on experiences in the PostgreSQL community, then is it not, "How Companies Can Effectively Contribute To PostgreSQL"?
As for your other points, I don't think they reflect the general feeling of the PostgreSQL community.
