As far as being advantageous is concerned, what *real* and not *perceived* advantages are there to having only FOSS in government?

If FOSS proves to be cheaper, then let it get in on that merit, not through a handout via a bill.
I agree. Let FOSS compete on the same even terms with non-FOSS solutions. If the FOSS proponent proves cheaper and better, there should be no reason why it wouldn't win out.
