Hmmm...
I believe the point of confusion is the difference between the initial
contract, versus the strategic requirement to become self-funded:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CSNET
"CSNET was funded by the National Science Foundation for an initial
three-year period from 1981 to 1984."
and
"A stipulation for the award of the contract was that the network
needed to become self-sufficient by 1986."
The wikipedia article confirms this distinction by citing the NSF itself:
http://www.nsf.gov/about/history/nsf0050/internet/modest.htm
"By 1986, the network was to be self-supporting."
