I didn't know that the government was funding these things to begin with, but I don't know many things.
I also didn't know this, but really we should all be putting money behind FOSS (myself included). We don't need billionaires.
Because foss projects like tor are regularly used by the agencies. It’s little money for a lot of work they don’t need to do.
Sounds like it may be time for some creative licensing
