    This type of laws already exist in some cases, but realistically no one knows that the company won’t just go bankrupt in 5 years. Open sourcing things is a “reasonable” last resort option, or rather, the only viable one

      I would love to see that codified: you go bankrupt, you go open source!

      I’m not holding my breath though. They usually get bought and sold and scrapped for parts along the way
