Even if it expires after 30 years, if the company doesn't publish the source code, what good does it do?

  Perhaps to get the copyright you should put the code in escrow? Not really, it costs a fortune

    This is exactly what I meant though, put the code in a private third party library in order to gain IP protection.

    Escrow for source code only costs a fortune because the only demand for it is b&b software where contracts require it. It's not a fundamentally expensive service and if it was required in order to receive copyright protection then it would just be provided by the government either for free or at cost.
