That sounds good. But if you read Kevin's link - http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html, an audit may not turn up everything that might be happening. Also: such a tribunal would involve a huge amount of work. I am a working programmer, and I have this quaint notion that I ought be paid for my work. Who are these 'people' who will pay for this source code audit? You? -- Chris Hill chris@monochrome.org ** [ Busy Expunging </> ]
