The government should be required to use open source software (for civilian operations at least)

With open source software, the pool of people who are empowered to fix the software is usually vastly higher than the pool of people who are empowered to fix a bug in any piece of proprietary software. There is no longer a monopoly provider of bug fixes, which may lead to a more efficient outcome.

The government should be required to use open source software (for civilian operations at least)

Using and therefore developing open source software has economic benefits for society as well as being a social good: the benefit of improving the software accrues not just to the people creating the software and the people paying for the software to be created.

It also makes vulnerabilities visible to "friends" who may point them out before "the enemy" finds them.
