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?
