You've got it backwards. The more pragmatic way is to say we should use
open source software everywhere we can NOW, and then retain or use
proprietary software in the meantime in places where we can't use open
source software. The government will save more that way. It can't afford
to keep throwing money away on overpriced pro[prietary systems that
really don't work that well either.
God bless!
