I've suspected something like this for a while. The few notable core
features they have added recently to IDL are image processing and
analysis routines. I haven't been to the Boulder office in years so I
am completely unaware of the changes there but even I could put together
IDL + IMINT = big money for ITTVIS
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMINT). And I'm not a big conspiracy
theorist (except for those fake moon landings :)

I guess we can hope that some of that money is directed into developing
generally useful additions to IDL's core that everybody benefits from.
