I'll be very interested to see how this plays out over the long term.

Positive:

- Adds the voice of a civic minded, non-profit entity to the board. Maybe less brutal than pure capitalism?

- Less risk of Frankenstein's monster (e.g. dual use adware)

Negative:

- Govt is now married to them, and the tech graveyards are littered with the corpses of behemoths who lost their edge.
