I don't get why such software isn't an open source initiative. I wish the government would give more legitimacy to orgs like "code for america". Who wants a proprietary closed janky software to rule wether you are a criminal or not? Nobody, that's who. The only beneficiaries in that story are the people on the other hand of the contract, making $5M for an half baked piece of software!
