Should OS makers, like Microsoft, be legally required to provide 15 years of security updates?

    Better laws would be:

    • to mandate open source relaease at EOS
    • automatically public domain at EOS
    • require paid operating systems to supporr hardware from 15 years ago (as a consumer protection law, so that it only applies to paid OS’s (and also ones that require a license, even if it’s “free” due to coming with the hardware), so that foss projects arent hurt)
