The grants were to various academic researchers who researched, published, and did not commercialize their discoveries.
The money will be made by private companies that have no connection to the researchers who received the grants, but simply use the published research in something they build.
It's hard to see a good way to build a system to make the private companies pay back the grants. It would be an accounting and tracking nightmare to try to figure out how much money is actually being made from the research that any given grant paid for.
