When I hear about these custom distributions developed by governments I sense that the source code 
never finds its way into the public domain. Consequently they are more likely to be examples of the 
exploitation of open source rather than the adoption of open source principles. Given its track 
record of surveillance and secrecy does anybody seriously believe that a Linux-based operating 
system developed by the Chinese government would be any less closed and proprietary than Microsoft?

Local and regional governments, along with their agencies, tend to lack the resources to maintain 
their own applications and operating system versions. Because of that I would be more encouraged to 
learn of 20 smaller administrations or organisations adopting LO and other open source applications 
than one monolithic government. It has to be better overall for the open source "movement" and its 
principles.

Hi. My humble opinion. Many years ago a small municipality here migrated to LibreOffice saying that 
ms office provides a higher quality, but It wasn't necessary. Since then LibreOffice improved. I 
guess ecosystem and compatibility are a good issue too.
But first problem Is that many people are not aware of the problems and don't want to change.
Ms Is still more used than open source, but things are slowly changing. Not so many people use 
Skype today and even the EU commission has suggested signal instead of whatsapp. Many governments 
(e g. Holland) are integrating open source in their policies.
The french police uses a Linux distribuzion Gendbuntu on their pcs. The same Is happening in Russia 
and China.
By the way many open source are competitive and widely used such as Red Hat linux, Apache,  
LibreOffice, mysql, but not only.
I guess yes, integration, compatibility and ecosystem made ms more competitive  and we need to 
think about.
Paolo
