The biggest reason government should use free software is interoperability.
Right now, software written for government bodies is incompatible, and therefore inefficient.
Free software has the advantage of mutability, you can change the software to meet your specific needs.
Closed source software must be changed by its original authors, often contractors, meaning it ends up staying incompatible with the rest of the ecosystem.
