At any rate, I don't see still why government should only use free software still when proprietary "source available" _locally developed_ software does the job as well if not better than open source software.
"Souce available" doesn't necessarily mean that the source caa be modified and that the resulting compiled binary can be redeployed. Therefore, "source available" software does not necessarily "do the job" as well as open source software. It lacks one of the very features that makes open source software a powerful tool.
