Giving extremely generous donors a board seat is somewhat common
practice for charitable organizations in the United States. It's not
done as a pure quid pro quo so much as a way to foster a valuable
relationship and provide benefits in addition to cash. Wikimedia is a
little different in that its most valuable assets have been donated by
content contributors but, of course, content contributors are
certainly represented on the board as well.
