In the past, when people disappeared, their tools
would (maybe) keep
working. Now that we *know* they will stop working once the account is
expired, do we know how requests for sourcecode for a tool will be
handled, in case someone wants to revive it?
Currently we don't have a good policy for this. Many (most?) tools have no
copyright header or license, which makes it difficult to distribute them.
There have been some proposals in the past, like assuming tools without
licenses will use a particular license, but I'm not too fond of that.
The solution I like best is to require that all tools be MMTs, but I imagine
some users would object to that ;-)
This is probably something that WM-DE needs to create a policy for.
