Fair Source also uses Delayed Open Source publication.

Delayed Open Source publication (DOSP) is a concept established by the Open Source Initiative (OSI). It is in keeping with OSI's public-benefit mandate to "persuade organizations and software authors to distribute source software freely they otherwise would not distribute." DOSP ensures that if a Fair Source company goes out of business, or develops its products in an undesired direction, the community or another company can pick up and move forward. Will this be meaningful in practice? Again, time will tell.
