One of the big issues I see from a developer standpoint is the potential for leaking proprietary code

It is no longer proprietary then.

that they may not want to publicize like things related to authorization,

If it has any impact, then it means they were insecure all along. Or in other words, they had CWE-656 vulnreability.

server side anti cheat implementations, etc.

There are lots of effective opensource anticheats. Server-side, obviously. See minecraft anticheats.

and potentially inter-org collaboration to develop common OS standards

So, POSIX?

it could incur risk to the org’s other current/future projects in addition to helping outside sources get a leg up on said other current/future projects.

It's called anti-social behaviour. "Why help someone else?"

Oh, well, if it’s not proprietary anymore, no problem!!! Did you not read the context regarding the impact to other existing and in-progress projects?

Also I like how you threw out POSIX as if that somehow makes this concept not only feasible but also fits into profit margins to be able to secure the additional funding. Who will sign up to contribute time and resources and stick to those same standard long term? EA? Ubisoft? I didn’t say it couldn’t be done I said it’s not something corporate would ever go for.

Go ahead and tell those big corpos to stop being anti social, I’m sure that’ll secure the funding and commitments necessary industry-wide

We are literally trying to pass a law to force them.

~~> mentions AWS~~

> says POSIX is not feasable

Are you imagining them renting AWS and running windows?

That's what we are doing. Even your argument is about success.

Let me guess, you are from USA. That's how we have healthcare and labour laws.

EDIT: where did mention of AWS go? Was it in another thread? I can't find it.
