Sounds great. Except that as a company, you can now only deliver services to this government. No products, since you will lose your competitive advantage. This is a big disadvantage for for instance startups that target this market.

I don't hear anything I care about, or that anyone should care about, under the "except" column.

Don't target that market if you don't like the terms. Someone else will. I will.

It’s a disadvantage if you require proprietary licenses, but an advantage if you leverage open source licenses.
