Cuba recently launched its own answer to Windows this week, or, in the bigger picture, what the Cubans are calling "US Hegemony." Nova, the new open source OS being offered by the Cuban government, is being made to boot out US-based Microsoft products.

That is my question too. If the software comes as binary code only installed on their computers the users have no way of know if there are any hidden backdoors or log files on the systems they are using.
Without a compiler and the source code, users are still using a closed source system no matter where the original code came from.
