Well, however he worded the new policy, I doubt that the BSA would react in any other way. Here is the register's editorial (BSA imagines open source policy, attacks mass.gov) about the reaction from the BSA. An extract:

'...but when the BSA mounts an attack on a software purchasing policy that doesn't quite exist yet, and quite possibly won't exist, one begins to wonder who's driving the "voice of the world's commercial software industry".'
