I'm not sure it's always wise to trust or refuse to trust software based on its funding sources. Something not funded by In-Q-Tel can be bad, and another thing produced with In-Q-Tel investment might serve your needs well. We need more independent verification of actual software behavior, and better ways to manage it's behavior.

Yes, agreed. However it seems more likely a company funded by In-Q-Tel would cave to government pressure sooner than another. If a government entity directly funds you, then you do what it says or you may lose the funding. If I'm a security conscious consumer I would opt to skip the unnecessary risk of signing up for a security company on government payroll.
