So if a bunch of Commies came over to your office with a dump truck
full of money and said, "So comrade, we need IP networks that are the
fastest they can possibly be.  If we dump this in your lobby will you

You'd say no?  What if they just bought a bunch of Cisco routers on
the open market without any special deal?  Should Cisco turn that
money away?
