  No law needed. The free market system works just fine. There are some
companies which offer source license. The fact that they don't sominate
the market indicates that many people don't want to maintain their own
software. The existance of companies like Cygnus which maintain GNU
software indicates that people are willing to PAY MONEY not to maintain
software even if they can.
