Do people really not see a difference when you're talking about the 
government, and not some individual or company?

I have.  You'll find my name in the OpenBSD CD inserts as a contributor 
(albeit minor dollar amounts).  I have my own opinion of Theo's 
communication skills and politics, but that really doesn't matter.  As long 
as he produces OpenBSD, that's why I gave him the money.  I don't care what 
he might say about me, if he keeps working on OpenBSD as he has been, then 
he can have more in the future, too.

If you refuse to use security tools from people you don't like personally, 
then you're going to miss out on a lot of good stuff.
