"NLnet is a great initiative"

Originally, NLNet was *private money* given by the founders of a dutch ISP¨.

Now that this private money run out, they made a partnership with the European Commission, which is *public money* and comes with more strings attached.

That all sounds like it's meant to sound sinister, but why? Private individuals sometimes fund great initiatives, as do public organisations. What's your concern?
