No need. Let corporations replace human-designed human-tested code with public domain slop. Soon enough they'll realise that they're using millions of lines of code that is completely unsupported by any sapient being and when they get hit with ransomware because their nginx-rewrite had a command injection vulnerability they will fire the CTO and replace all the slop with the FOSS licensed originals.

..... You know... yeah, that's true. One of the huge benefits of using some open source library is that you don't have to maintain it. But if you clean room it, then it's all on you.

Although, companies like Amazon will have the engineers to maintain it internally. But a lot of other companies won't.

And then you have the chardet guy: https://github.com/chardet/chardet/issues/327
