I figure it would be the “good enough compliance gesture” like when router makers dunp a barely-building code sample to comply with the GPL.

Wouldn’t the easiest way out for this just be to throw a repo up and say “host your own servers, go away.”

It feels like that would be an approach that would be simple and cheap to deliver (they don’t have to handhold any of it) but makes them look magnamanous-- “you’ll be able to show your kids this game or get a nostalgia kick even 20 years for now, like how your dad pulled out the Atari 2600”.

If we’re going for the cartoon reference, surely Steamed Hams would work:

“Thousands of premium car sales, in this part of the year, in his part of the country, localized entirely within the last seconds of a government incentive scheme?”

“Yes.”

“May I see?”

“No.”

(Musk’s mother, off screen) “The company is on fire!”

“No, mother, it’s just a red hot deal!”
