Your board of directors would not allow you to spend a pile of money to
purchase your competitor and then allow you to put that competitor right
back in business against you. And no business owner with a drop of sense
would want to do it anyway. Businesses like Apple, google, and Microsoft
buy a heap of smaller businesses every year. They don't do so to turn
around and give them away. FS is no doubt picking through the Window-Eyes
code looking for ways to improve JAWS or features to add.

if I no longer cared about the product then yes I probably would turn
around and just open source it. if the product was no longer supported by
my business I'd just tell people do what you want with it, we moved on.
take it apart, open source it, whatever. we do not care.

No. Think about it. If you were in business and bought your number one
competitor would you turn around and give it away for someone else to
continue its development?

hi
Is there any possibility since window eyes is no longer supported to
get the window-eyes source code make it open source and put it up on
the github website? then other developers could keep developing window
eyes.
