I'm a bit curious on how do other companies/sponsors fit into the 
equation...

Let' s say we have the acme corporate and it wants to match Red Hat's 
funds and contribution if not do more.

What can acme do and not do regarding Fedora besides pouring manpower 
and money into the project ?

For instance if acme wanted to donate hw that was twice as big and 
diverse than what Red Hat provides to the project with the term that 
they would be hosting it and the infrastructure along with it would that 
be acceptable?
