I wish code didn't have any copywrite at all. It should just belong to our species for the benefit of our species. If your entire business model depends on having some private code that you lord over, versus, you know, having some expertise in the field you are in and the ability to generate more code to solve ongoing problems, it seems like you are structured on shaky ground to begin with.
For example, there are plenty of academics these days who are at the tops of their fields and open source all their code. They end up considered as experts not because of a black box code base they implement on problems, but because they can think of potential solutions to the problems at all, and one of the tools used is writing up some code. The code is a shovel or a hammer, its not the one wielding it. They have competitors too of course, just that the secret sauce isn't the code but what goes on in your actual brain.
Its too bad most business leaders fail to understand this, and think its a blackbox code base that makes a decent business. Its the ability to solve problems that matters.
