this time it at least looks like its focusing on the open-ness of open source instead of just the free-of-cost nature of it, and after seeing other parts of the german government switching to more open platforms (like parts of their health and military comms switching to matrix), we can at least be cautiously optimistic
I hope so too. This is super important for states to be lock-in free and open source as much as possible. And we need a good example for other countries to follow.
