It's obviously more than "simply cash" that's needed, but it has been
pretty clear that the lack of cash (and, as a consequence, the lack of
eyes looking at the code) was a big issue for OpenSSL - and is probably
a big issue for a number of other open source projects.
(I also think that Microsoft's security record has been pretty decent in
recent years, especially given how big a target the company is. In any
case I think the funding for the Linux Foundation by Microsoft and many
others is great news, full stop.)
