I think you, and a large number of people on this site, need to accept that the vast majority of people don't give a shit about FOSS, and many actively view it as a bad thing.
Especially a government agency.
This isn't about FOSS. This is about decentralization. You could make that argument on Reddit or Xitter. Not on Lemmy.
You're being a pedant, all while missing the point.
The point is most people don't care.
Most people? Or you?
Are you sure about that?
That's not what open source means.
Are you expecting that regular people will understand what foss means without ever seeing it before? The law is literally named the Securing Open Source Act. By law, code that is not classified must be open source.
