A right to repair for software would be substantially similar to open source, perhaps with restrictions on commercial use, although in the car space, a right to repair is mostly about giving commercial repairers access, so maybe in software it would just mean mandating all software be open source :)

Edit: perhaps the commercial case could be limited to sharing a copy with a consultant, having them do the repair job, give you back the code and then delete their copy.

For service as a software substitute (SaaSS), I guess if you should have the right to extract your data too.
