This reminds me that I heard of a law proposition that if a product is
discontinued, it should be made open-source. This will eliminate companies
for buying other companies and discontinuing their products, just to
eliminate competition. But I am not sure how this law is Capitalstically
sound.
It's kind of like the anti-trust law. It seems sensible at first, but it
is actually an ugly kludge on top of a kludgly law system that causes such
monopolies to emerge or persist in the first place. Contrary to popular
belief, a benevolent monopoly can exist in a Laissez-Faire Capitalism
environment, and persist without any harm done to the costumers. Only when
it starts abusing them, will it gain competition.

There is no IGLU Cabal! They were declared a trust by being the only Cabal
of the Israeli Group of Linux Users. And since they did not manage to
convert the Israeli economy into Laissez-Faire Capitalism, they became
extinct by the worst monopoly in Israel: its government.
