NAI Labs, due to its association with NAI, counts as a for-profit entity, and is likely not to be applicable for this grant. With an appropriate academic or non-profit partner acting as the prime contractor, we could act as a sub-contractor and be applicable for funds, and there are a variety of useful activities this could cover relating to FreeBSD. Obviously, we would be interested in hearing from institutions that are appropriately qualified and interested in such a partnership. Interesting questions would include whether or not the FreeBSD Foundation is qualified. This is an opportunity we should not miss--if we don't get these funds, someone else will.
