Just a small percentance of that trillion dollars per year would be game changing for a lot FLOSS projects. After all FLOSS is not free as in beer but free as in speech. Anyway living in Greece i don't think the day is near for a Greek goverment to take steps towards FLOSS. But is always good to see that there will be paradigms in foreing countries in EU and over the pond, to the US. I just hope it’s not just wishfull thinking.
