Ask Slashdot: How To Get Old Commercial Software To Be Open-Sourced?
acceptable time Optic7 sender wrote: "Many players have probably dreamed of the idea of an old favorite game or otherwise no longer supported or developed commercial software is an open source license so it can be updated to add new features, support for new hardware, operating systems, etc. However, this rate seems very strange license, unless the holder of copyright is decided on its own that would be beneficial. the only examples I have come, or was able to find in an Internet search were brief Blender (3D animation software source code was purchased by the creditors, after a public campaign-financing) and Warzone 2100 (game that had its source code released after a successful request). With these two examples of different strategies in mind, one of you have participated in these efforts, and what you learned from what may be useful to someone else tries to do the same? Even if you did not participate, do you have any suggestions or ideas that may be useful for such an effort? "
