Hi there!
For personal ethical reasons, I am curious of the association of Paizo/PF with Wizards. The latter is a company I do not have particular interest in supporting. While I love the Pathfinder system, it leaves me in a conundrum as far as how much I should throw behind the system if it feeds back into WotC.
There is almost no connection between Paizo and WotC besides former employees of WotC founding Paizo or working for them.

When Paizo was formed way back in 2002, it was a spin-off of the magazine division of Wizards of the Coast. For many years, we had a license with WotC to produce Dragon and Dungeon magazines. That ended when they launched 4th edition and we went our own ways with Pathfinder. Other than having friends that work at Wizards of the Coast, there is no connection between Paizo and WotC. I hope this helps.

I'm just now reading your title at Paizo in a new light.
