The Australian system is probably going the same way.
It started off as open source, and soaked up all the media attention. After obtaining comments and bugfixes from the community, then they closed the source off and told the community to fuck off. In a year we'll be having the same kind of story show up, when someone finds a vulnerability that would have been fixed if only they hadn't closed it.
