I know this may sound funny, but did you try IBM? It seems that IBM is moving away from being a merchandising company (selling software/hardware) and moving more towards being a services based company, so maybe an anonymous distributed publishing system like freenet would be more of interest to them then it might to other companies. Also, IBM seems to have moved more towards embracing open source recently and they have also been active in grid computing which in some respects runs along the same lines as freenets distributed nature. It's possible that IBM management is not aware of the Freenet Project and would be interested in learning about the project and supporting it financially.
