After reading the posts about "timebombs" in software, it seems the concept is mis-understood as to implementation and intent. First, it sounds like people think they would be surprised, that they would be working along, prehaps in an emergency situation, and Ker-Chunk, the program would stop work

How about cases such as UIVIEW, which was a free but closed-source application for APRS? The developer suddenly died, and users were left high and dry. Depending on closed-source ham software is dicey unless it comes with major support. The small shops can and will close up. Sometimes this do

Developers of closed-source freeware should set up contingency plans in the event they become disabled or die. Should I dissapear, for example, DXLab source code will be placed with a competent developer; whether it becomes open source or remains closed will be his decision. 73, D

Oh, it could very well be true. It may not happen while they are working, but if the PC has been in storage for a while waiting for another emergency event, the date of the time bomb could go by and the PC would be useless for the next emergency. The software could die upon startup which could
