>After the EOL all companies should make the {thing} open : release all keys, software, backdoors, whatever. No more copywrite, IP, on it. I think this is reasonable. It's unreasonable to expect companies to support old products indefinitely, otherwise they would collapse under the weight of the legacy. It's also unreasonable to leave customers that bought something, however old, with nothing to fix it themselves. Ideally also the companies would have to release all this at least a year before EOL for people to be able to get acquainted with the codebase.
