Asking HP to open source HP calculator software and patents

[acoto]

Hi

I has been asking myself about HP-28, HP-48 and HP-50 software.

Each day RPN/RPL seems less and less relevant for HP, and HP-50 seems to be on a dead end.

Do you think this is a right moment, and apropriate to ask HP to open source RPN/RPL calculator software, and give open permissions on related patents?

I think calculator enthusiast will be quite happy to have access to software and help to evolving it. I’ll like to see more saturn routines converted to native ARM for instance.

For world/people it may bring cheap RPN alternatives to casios ans TIs.

For HP, it may get interesting if global interest reignites in some way RPN calculator market. They may try to navigate in premium calcs market.

Has something like that been attempted before?
