Personally, I feel both "limited time" and "exclusive right" need very serious reconsideration in light of:

how rapidly software can develop, and or can be lost

unlike material innovations and constructs, software with many contributors ends up being greater than any one contribution, and this being true for all users, both potential and actual

, and

the need for systems, consisting of and or containing software, to interoperate, be serviced and preserved.
