But your competitors can't really steal it, because they are subject to the same rules and have to make their code available too. So any theft of code will be apparent.

Manufactures will probably check each others code to make sure none of their own code has been stolen and file lawsuits if it has.

There's still China you know. They don't play by the rules and copy everything relentlessly.
