That's not really relevant. The government is supposed to open these things up to tender. They aren't doing that. The suit should proceed and hopefully win.

Then, if the government allows tendering the way they're supposed to, and the proprietary software companies win the bids, ok, fine. At least it's open and above board the way it's intended to be.
