They have a seat on the Linux foundation board they pay a half million a year for, so they “have” (as in “own”) its freedom

how tangled up are they in how Linux is developed and used outside of large businesses though?

I'm not sure. The Linux foundation board seat gets them influence over the kernel, but I don't know if they have any influence over the GNU system as a whole. Maybe my claim of them "owning" Linux was overstated. They do give keynotes at Linux conferences though.
