But if you believe in the claim, why not sign a contract that brings some validity to the claim?

  Agreed. Those kind of binding agreements are the only way you can guarantee that something won't change immediately upon acquisition, and an interested party may still buy your company if you have such agreements. They may just have to wait a while to shut you down if that is indeed their plan. However, I don't really know if that's a better alternative than just shutting down upon acquisition, lest a false sense of security be provided to the users.

  That makes sense - even if Inbox goes back on their word, there can be grandfathered-in users who have a contractual obligation from Inbox and whoever acquires/resells it. Makes the existing user base much less valuable to possible buyers though :)

  They've release the code. That's contract enough for me.
