      There should be efforts to ensure it never happens again. All companies who abandon products or services should be forced to open source all associated code.

      Why should greedy narcissists be allowed to waste humanities finite resources on their limp dick get-rich-quick schemes and failures?

        The problem with incorporating a business is that all humans therein pretty much escape liability.

        The only value is the assets and intellectual property that can be sold off to another organization. Releasing all the proprietary data brings that value down to zero.
