I used to push / campaign for all government funded software projects to be OSS by default, and to be small enough in size (millions not billions) that the SME market could still compete.

In my view that’s two simple procurement changes …

It’s for this reason I joined Defense Unicorns[1] last year - the team behind the airgap Kubernetes tool, Zarf[2] (which is OSS).
