That's about as direct as it gets. There are a lot more real consequences to the deal than just funding for some R&D. If Apple is the Great Satan, then IBM is at least Beelzebub. Actually, my personal mythology is that IBM is the Great Satan, and Apple is Faust. You know the whole free software issue has gotten pretty weird when companies supporting authoritarian governments and the military-industrial complex are the "good guys".
