I'm a bit sceptical, especially of governments lagging behind these things. I'm hopeful that this will solve itself or be solved soon though.
I don't think the government has much to do here. It's not like if other organizations would have an influence from the government's side.
Open source orgs are usually NGO, and the big ones will spit garbage pretty quickly.
