- hansvm 2y agoThat's not been tested much in the courts. Recent rulings suggest OSS at least has consideration and thus can't be blanket terminated without some justification, but the USC provides that justification (with some onerous requirements -- 2-10 years of notice, has to happen in a certain time window, ...), even for licenses stating irrevocability.
