In my opinion, any Public Administration depending on software without control over the source (paying contractor is another debate) is a bad idea, you don’t have to wait for a company to go rogue (for its client) to realize it.
What transparency can you get if you don’t know your software ? Trusting publisher without permanent audit is worthless, also, with this amount of dependency, corruption could arise just to keep it.
If in the future they consider it good timing, this should be considered a defeat.
