You said...
No more than 2 members of the TWG can be working for the same company. The more KDE commercial success grows, the more companies working with KDE will want to control it.

Maybe I don't get it, but if some company seeks to control KDE by hiring good developers to hack on KDE color me unconcerned.

na, it wouldn't be good. look at gnome, they had (and have) some problems with this. if red hat wants something, but novell wants the other direction, what do you get? decisions aren't made on technical merit alone, but on buzzwords and marketing value. that's bad, as one of the strengths of kde is the fact it generally makes TECHNICAL sound decisions, without 'political/corporate' influence.

I can't remember when Red Hat wanted something, Novell wanted something else, and GNOME went with the less technically sound decision. Could you please provide any examples?
