[Some people's assertions that Marc & Eric work for them because
they receive public funding deleted.]

Of course, the $1E-3 of your taxes that winds up in the pockets of
the NCSA Mosaic development team hardly pays for their spending
dozens of hours fulfilling your personal request, any more than
I would be justified in demanding a ride on a Navy F-14 because
my taxes helped pay for it (something for which there would be
a rather higher public demand, I would think).  Marc & Eric take their
orders from their boss, period, who receives about the same amount of
your money and is therefore answerable to you for about 1E-7 part
of the direction the work takes.
