Aw, hell, here's the draft I've written a couple of days ago:

Code: Select all

## License

### 4 fundamental freedoms

### Manual license audit

### AI legalese interpreter

### Database of copyright/patent/trademark laws

### Automated license audit

## Step 2

### Reproducible builds

### Manual code audit

### Web of trust

## Step 3

### Automatic code audit (source code antivirus)

### Proper VMs for dynamic analysis

### Formal proof (what about hardware backdoors?)

### Automated formal proof with all bells and whistles

Looks interesting. So will there be a kind of seal of approval given by the organisation that carries out the manual code inspections? Who will carry out these audits?

Web of trust. People who audit the code then sign the binary with their signature and then there will be a system where every user has a list of trusted keys so they can install only software signed by trusted keys. This is similar to how APT works in Debian.
