    This is a product that didn’t need to be built. Since it has, I’m at least pleased there are efforts to keep them from being relegated to landfills.

      I feel like there should be a law to release the bits we need to support these efforts.

      Too many times a product will die or a company will fold along with all its documentation.

      Maybe release a final firmware opening up a product. Or at the very least a git repo with api documentation.
