I think medical device manufacturers should have to support their products for some definite length of time—maybe 10 years?—or not be allowed to make devices at all

This type of laws already exist in some cases, but realistically no one knows that the company won't just go bankrupt in 5 years. Open sourcing things is a "reasonable" last resort option, or rather, the only viable one

I would love to see that codified: you go bankrupt, you go open source!

I’m not holding my breath though. They usually get bought and sold and scrapped for parts along the way
