@thelastpsion Believe it or not, we're in an interesting situation with 50 year old sodium fire code. I believe it was developed under a federal contract back in the day, nobody has cared about this code since the early 80s, the authoring firm has changed hands 2-3 times since, but it's suddenly relevant now so the code's current owners are looking to commercialize it now that someone with money asked them about it. Thankfully they're being reasonable about it but that's purely by luck these days. The really irritating thing is that Argonne National Lab has put the work into recovering and modernizing the code and is now taking on maintenance responsibility for it after 40+ years of dormancy. The IP holder has done no technical work in all that time but now gets to set commercial terms for a code that was funded by federal money and effectively abandoned.
