You'd think that a government knows how to do a web search

That's easy to say. Do you think the Italian government is going to find an article written in Hindi on the experiences it made with open source education? Or that small towns are going to have the budget to go deeper than the first page on Google that ignored the internet archive?

If it really were that simple and it worked, we wouldn't have to convince governments to use open source.
