Not quite as simple as you make out, Chunterer.
Firstly, Honda actually financed Brawn during the early days, to the tune of several, possibly hundreds of, millions. And secondly, although Mugen was a totally autonomous business, it was started by a member of the Honda family.
Just looked it up to refresh my memory; it was actually the son of the founder of Honda that formed Mugen.
