If the code is released with an Open Source license, haven't they already met the claim? Sure the company could be bought out, but the code can't be.
Even if they were bought out the code would still be available and someone else could provide the service and continue development. Releasing the code seems like the best guarantee possible.

From what I recall the parents assets can be used, up to a certain percentage, to determine what the child is eligible for. One way around this is to use a Roth IRA, since it allows you to take money out for college without a penalty and would not be used to determine FAFSA.

While the Beeb does produce a lot of its own programming, there is also much of it that is done in partnership with other public broadcasters outside of the UK and with corporate bodies who have distribution rights (which are a part of copyright) outside of the UK, whether those rights are exercised or not.

It also does not mean that CL has any obligation to provide that data to another for free. If you want the data in multiple locations, post it to those other locations.
The purpose of CL is to provide data for free. Why should they care how that data is packaged, so long as this packaging is not abusive, but actually beneficial?
The real reason: Craigslist wants to hold onto their monopoly position.
