@nemobis yup, and be vendor-locked to SpaceX in doing so: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-05/italy-plans-1-5-billion-spacex-telecom-security-services-deal.
Another solution here could be if governments decided to actually support FOSS by funding its maintenance & dev by subscribing to the paid product, rather than freeriding. ZenDiS in Germany is a great example of this. But unfortunately, they're almost unique in this, hence Synapse Pro.
