Sorry but you're coming across as telling people what to do - it's somewhat patronising. There's a key principle here - no application with such scope should be closed source. It is in no-ones interest that it be closed source. In fact the software becomes more secure when many eyes are on it. And, once the government has it out there - with the blessing of people like you - then they will have no urgency to make it open source. Now is exactly the right time to say "we'll use this BUT only if it's open source."
