    I’d like a law that software / hardware companies who file for bankruptcies must release the source / files for their tech to an open source repository.

      That idea often comes up in these discussions and I’ve never really had an argument against. Best I got is that parts of that software may have moved to more modern stuff that was purchased by another company. But that’s a damned thin excuse not to implement this.
