Microsoft has and will continue to do Trumps bidding when it comes to the ICC, so this is a very good but also very late decision.

"very late" for you, now; in hundred years it may be considered a timely decision taken early on at the start of the American MAGAification

In my opinion, any Public Administration depending on software without control over the source (paying contractor is another debate) is a bad idea, you don't have to wait for a company to go rogue (for its client) to realize it.

What transparency can you get if you don't know your software ? Trusting publisher without permanent audit is worthless, also, with this amount of dependency, corruption could arise just to keep it.

If in the future they consider it good timing, this should be considered a defeat.
