Make it a seven year rule: hardware vendors must release necessary source code for firmware, blobs, etc.

I think there should be a 20 year rule for all released commercial software to release the source code outside of national security concerns.

There are countries that require published material to be submitted to a national archive[0]. A similar system could be done for software source code and made public on expiry.
