I think it would be better to be 10 years from launch and 5 years from "unlaunch".
Also, if the company goes bankrupt the source code and necessary tools should become open source or even public domain as to allow third parties to keep providing updates.
- webmobdev 5y agoI had similar ideas for what a regulator can do to protect our consumer rights (including right to repair): - All devices should come with unlocked bootloader. No exceptions. - OS updates should be mandated for a certain period. Especially security updates. - Standardisation: An open standard API for device drivers should be mandated for the hardware components used so that system developers can easily create support for any OS, and don't need to resort to reverse engineering. - Copyright restrictions on software code should be valid only for a certain period and become public domain (open source) after that. (It should definitely not be 75+ years of copyright that is currently mandated for films and books).
