I get where you're coming from, but I actually think that governments probably should fund some open source software projects. Some of those projects are so fundamentally important that basically everyone relies on them, including governments.

Governments can buy software which it needs the same way as any one else I don't see a reason why it should pick winners or losers of open source projects.
