If he (or any politician) wants to really support the idea of open-source they would require that everything that can be open-sourced will be open-sourced. The only exception I see to open-sourcing would be limited to almost strictly to military or defense related software and hardware projects. For every single other system, the source code should be out there in the public. Start with every single non-critical piece of software that is not part of infrastructure like transportation and public utilities and once security practices and norms improve and stabilize among the non-critical stuff, slowly and carefully open source all the rest except for military and defense projects.
At the price tax payers are paying for software, we should own the code outright many many times over.
I haven't looked into this, but can you point to any concrete examples, as opposed to the usual political platitudes?
