RMS doesn't run the GPL compliance lab, that's David "Novalis" Turners job. RMS mostly meets politicians in America, Europe, and india. In between those engagements he gives many many speeches.

I doubt they were offered a discount and I doubt they would ask for one. IBM and HP have both been donating chunks of money and computers to FSF for years.
I'm not sure about the size of all the other companies but I know MySQL AB would be in the 11-40 employees bracket and I reckon, Penguin Computing too probably.

At a guess, I'd assume FSF has a policy of not linking to (directing users to) companies that produce non-free software.
