Awesome!  Great news.

To my understanding, and as was alluded to in the post, this signals a
shift in business strategy.  That is, that instead of having some sort
of paid "premium" Qubes distribution, the Qubes team now has a different
model for supporting itself.

Is this actually untrue?  In either case, this brings up the question:
exactly how will ITL fund Qubes development?  What is the long-term
plan?  Is there a long-term plan?

On a related note, I know ITL has received a few recent grants.  How
does the Qubes team envision such grants playing a part in the future
funding of the project?  Are there guidelines for whose and what kind of
support to accept?  For example, should ITL seek grant funding from
various arms of the US government?

Thanks,
Andrew
