I concur with Jamesh in noting that the point of this is not to restrict the *buyer* to only open-source solutions, but to restrict the *sellers* from failing to give the sources to the State.

And I don't know that the law requires that the seller give the source to *anyone*, merely the buyers.

If that's the case, it's probably workable...
