Me too, but completely unwinds the software economic model. Licenses are meaningless, as would more broadly copyright.

A lot less than 'completely'. A big chunk of software is commissioned, and another big chunk of software is open source.
… a tiny chunk (by value).

Commissioned software Is a fraction of product/services protected by IP law.

Open source doesn’t really have an effective business model (and it doesn’t need one!)

So much software is in-house, and that's only part of commissioned software, are you sure it's a tiny chunk?
In house Software still rely on ip law. Try stealing Facebook’s source code and see what happens.
