The article wasn't vague. It explicitly pointed out that there's no business model at all yet:
Maritz says VMware doesn’t have a concentrate plan for making money from Cloud Foundry. “A leap of faith,” he calls it.
I imagine the obvious business model though is to position themselves as the world experts on this platform and provide hosting and support to enterprise customers that would rather pay a premium for peace of mind as opposed to startups that would shop around for the cheapest option.
