That sounds stupid to me.
Is Microsoft a German company?
Is IBM a German company?
Are HP, Sun, AMD, Intel, ... German companies?

Besides, considering the *tight* budget many government agencies have, I don't see how that could ever be a point in a buying decision.
I guess it's more like government agencies are ditching the expensive SuSE/Novell-support (which I haven't heard anything good about, anyway) in favor of cheap and flexible support provided by small companies.
