True regarding Matlab -- in fact, it is already very hard for the scientific python community to get traction against Matlab at the University level, though I'm very impressed with the progress they have made so far. And since we're talking about foundations and their money here, it's worth pointing out that the situation regarding numerical computing is different -- indeed, the Sloane Foundation recently put very substantial monetary support behind development of the scientific Python stack (organized around IPython), which is really awesome.
And not just Sloan. Travis Oliphant et. al. got the $3 million DARPA grant for moving forward the scientific python stack: http://www.continuum.io/press/continuum-receives-darpa-xdata-funding
