commenter is talking about operating systems. You realize there are other comments here too, right?
Yeah but it’s written like operating systems are thought of as something “written by/for” a government. That’s pretty rare, whereas other pieces of software are far more common.
It’s also completely backwards: “the government will use only open source software” is the opposite direction from “software the government makes will be open sourced”
