That depends. I see nothing wrong in getting the goverenment to pay for something that eventually will save expences for Israel as a whole and maybe even for the country's budget. I realaize that getting money from the goverenment is not an easy task. However, the blessing of the goverentment (even without the money) is useful. That is: I do not expect the goverenment to finance IGLUs meetings and such. But sponsering develpoment (and maybe maintinance) of software is certainly nothing to be ashamed of.
