Force one, force all. The side effect being that if another manufacturer steals and reuses code under NDA, that'd show up as well.
Calling it "unrealistic" is unrealistic. These companies are not anybody's pet, to be loved and hugged and cared for. We should ask them to release their code, at least to regulation agencies under NDA, because otherwise they harm the health of millions of people for the sake of passing regulations, like in this very case. Don't know about you but I'm in no mood to give them a free pass on this and on top of that, worry about "oh but those poor SOBs, what would they do if their NDA'd code would get leaked"...
Sorry, this is a bit of a hostile answer and it's not meant to be - this entire ordeal is enraging... and I don't see why we should preemptively defend their rights to make money off our own health.
