Copyright on intellectual property should cover this right? Shouldn't these corporations be forced to release the source code on that basis?

- janosdebugs 2y agoI'm confused. Why would they be forced to? Also, there's way more than copyright that covers this: trademarks, patents and trade secrets also play into it.
- account42 2y agoYes, it WOULD make sens for copyright to work this way. A limited time monopoly in exchange for making sure the work actually enters the commons after that limited time. Unfortunately what we currently have is a much much worse deal for society.
