Leo,

the question then would be: who ownes the software?  If, at liquidation,
the software firm owns the code in escrow, then I would submit that you
may be way down the food chain to see the source...or, you may be forces
to pay some seriousely inflated fees which if you get it up from you don't 
have to worry about..
