It's been awhile since I've read through Drupal projects...but how much of this is usuable, extendable modules and how much of it is "Create a database and run the Drupal init script on it"? https://github.com/opengovplatform/opengovplatform
Data.gov is open source

Re: Data.gov is open source
#12It should be noted that the software running Data.gov itself has not been made open source. This is a project of the American and Indian governments to produce an open-source version of Data.gov to be shared with other governments. Here's an open-source government data catalog originally made for the City of Philadelphia, built on Django: http://civiccommons.org/apps/open-data-catalog

If the data is available for download (preferably via ftp) what needs to be "open source"?
Personally I do not care what software they use to run the site so long as the data is available for download in a open format like CSV. Compare this with offering the data in little bits via some silly JSON API or offering it in some format that requires some addtional closed source software to process.
To me, the data is what is important. What software they choose to use is not important, as long as the data is easily accesible (ftp is my preference). What's important is that I can use whatever software I want to process the data.
