Well, because there's no escrow regulated by law that would force them to do so. Essentially, this means that they are not legally obligated to do anything such as that. Besides, they could "open source" only half of it, and no one would ever know unless it's too late (and that they officially abandon it and no longer respond to questions regarding it).
This is also one of the various criticisms, and suggestions, made against the Swedish Pirate Party (Swedish: /Piratpartiet/) platform, see [[https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/pirate-party.html]]. However, I don't know if the Swedish Pirate Party is aware of this criticism, or even of other Pirate Parties are aware of this article, but I hope they do eventually not only read the article, but also accept/incorporate the suggestions, for the own good of free/libre software movement, if these Pirate Parties' platforms ever come true. -- - [[https://libreplanet.org/wiki/User:Adfeno]] - Palestrante e consultor sobre /software/ livre (não confundir com gratis). - "WhatsApp"?
