A big complaint here is that the terms PSF is objecting to were added after they submitted their proposal. They spent a lot of time and effort applying for the grant, only to discover it now had terms they found so objectionable that they decided to give up the grant rather than accept them. I could understand objecting to the bait and switch even if I supported the rules they were trying to enforce.
