RAOFA very interesting talk from @eylul at #ubuntusummit about the connections between FOSS and art.
Inspired by a small part of that talk, I wonder what a Right of Repair for software would look like? Would that be a good idea?

@RAOF isn’t that just the GPL?
@halcy Maybe, but not necessarily? GPL might be a particular implementation of something *like* that, but it's rather more expansive?
@halcy particularly: the GPL is set up to enforce equality of interaction. Everyone has the same rights, you need to provide the preferred form of modification, and so on.
I'm wondering if there's something that's more like extending the existing right to reverse engineer.
It's not plausible that, say, the EU would mandate all software must be GPL. Is there a plausible extension of already supported reverse-engineering to get something that *would* be mandatable?
@halcy Like, would it be both useful and plausible that the EU mandate that you must provide debug symbols for any software you sell?
