Websites go down every day (see, for example, Twitter), but this is the first time I’ve heard that the reason for an outage was due to servers being stolen from a data center.

The large majority of most startups fail, and a lot of them have software, patents and other intellectual property that may be of value to the community. This IP could help those startups avoid wasting time reinventing the wheel, find creative ways to solve problems, etc. In a perfect world, the best of this property would be made available via a ...
