How about getting forced to go open source when they abandon a product?
Too risky. Who knows what’s hiding in their code. Might be some copylefted library or a piece of code that’s been copy-pasted into the project without fully complying with the copyleft requirements. Making sure this isn’t the case and/or cleaning up an abandoned project can be costly and complicated. Easier for them to just kill it.
No they dont, not with the current american administration.
Whoever pays the most money makes the rules. I mean, it was always like that but they don’t have to hide it nearly as much.
They convinced a good chunk of the country that it’s a good thing.
I’ve learned from my mistakes with Google IoT. Unless I can host things myself, preferably even before the product inevitably dies, i’m not even considering it
