-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 That's a problem that's going to have to be handled at some point or another. If, by some unfortunate circumstance the company dies, the browser will go with it. One compromise to this entire problem would be to charge for the source code/compiled binaries. Since they sell a service that comes with the product, in this case Freedombox, they should consider that once their revenue stream becomes stable. The problem I described earlier of someone else releasing the product under a different name, can somehow be worked out.
