Splitting when the project looks like it's gonna make money is the American way.

They did a lot more good by making a company rather than sticking around in academia and publishing a few extra papers.

I see this a lot in a project I'm involved with where the majority of contributors are from academia.
The incentive is to mostly push novel things, often with questionable practicability, in order to write a paper about it.
But nobody will implement the 'boring' features needed to make the thing generally useful.

not that I support this approach, but the return on public investment there is clearly huge

The best remote+paying job that I've ever seen online was from a Darpa project (memex project, about search engines). $180K - $250K+. This was ~5 years ago.
Curious what the salaries will be on this one.
Heh, so, funny story...
>A second grant—the DARPA-NSF grant most closely associated with Google’s origin—was part of a coordinated effort to build a massive digital library using the internet as its backbone. Both grants funded research by two graduate students who were making rapid advances in web-page ranking, as well as tracking (and making sense of) user queries: future Google cofounders Sergey Brin and Larry Page.
>The research by Brin and Page under these grants became the heart of Google: people using search functions to find precisely what they wanted inside a very large data set.
