If they don't give all their money to open source perhaps they instead support more important projects.

While I understand it's fun to speculate that somehow 9front is totally the worst thing that ever happened to anything, and clearly we in #cat-v are some of the evilest people to ever ruin the whole internet, I've had a conversation with the GSoC applications team about our application. At no time did anyone even imply they were confused by the fact that two different organizations both used plan 9. The 9front org and its application did not at any time pretend to represent Bell Labs or any other group of people. In our case, they were very clear that they liked almost all of our GSoC application, but were concerned that we did not have sufficient verbage in our ideas page regarding how to onboard beginners and get them on the road to completion of the projects we had laid out as suggestions. I look forward to being hypothetically blamed for All the Problems in the year ahead. khm
