I'm not surprised, but I am a little disappointed. Some random tech fund gives a small amount of money to a project that can put it to good use, and even plans specific useful things with said money, and then some ninnies come along to complain about it? Why? Is it their money? Do they dislike FreeBSD benefiting from things? Are they jealous because their pet project didn't get any money in this particular instance?

I'm sure some money goes towards silly things and could be spent on more worthwhile things, but this doesn't strike me as a waste of money...
