That's so sad that we have to waste time implementing bug-compatibility with the proprietary software. There should be some law about interoperability.

- Hackbraten 6y agoHow would such a law protect you against a copyright lawsuit where the rights holder claims you looked at leaked sources?
- de_watcher 6y agoAFAIK there are already laws about reverse-engineering for compatibility. May extend that and add something like the right to repair, so the ones who sell software or software services also have to provide documentation and more access to the actual features.
- anfilt 6y agoLike the thing is a windows binary is not following necessarily following any standard like POSIX. So implementing a compatibility layer without a spec or source can be tough.
