Surprising things do happen with FOSS projects, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Tor_Project#Funding When it suits one or more government's objectives, they'll support it. In the USA, that often means military or intelligence support, who tend to have rather large & unaccountable budgets, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In-Q-Tel
However, it would be nice if more ethical govt. agencies & NGOs were to materially support FOSS, e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elgg_(software)
