Hell yeah! Work it! I see this as a very good step for OSS. There needs to be *someone* out there to give money for OSS development. Government funding is a great way to do it (since the purpose of the government is to to stuff for the public good).
Regardless of your personal views of him accepting money or the US govt, this is a good thing. I wish more agencies and public entities would fund projects good for the public.
