Making it a requirement of using something commercially would add a lot of transparency though. The concept of "software bill of materials" has increased interest now, and this would be a part of it: if you're using something then you sign it and publish the signature which then declares an acknowledgment that it was reviewed in some way.


Absolutely, but I fear such a solution would lead to a lot of people signing just to be compliant, not beacause they did a thourough job reviewing. If we could connect it to a reputation somehow, it might have something going for it


Sure but that's the second part - trust and reputation.
