   @LovesTha @alcinnz Better yet: liable unless the work is under strong autoupgradable #copyleft such as #AGPL-3.0-or-later (i.e.: with the "or-later" option).

     @LovesTha @alcinnz As far as I can see, they can be presented as countermeasure to the "#security through obscurity" (e.i.: no #transparency) or, better yet, "through lack of freedom of the software" (i.e.: not #FreeSoftware / #FreeSW, which aims for more than transparency, but for the user to exercise control over their own environment, according to the capability-based approach to political #philosophy ). One improvement would be to require approval of each release in https://directory.fsf.org .

     @LovesTha @alcinnz #FreeSoftware / #FreeSW goes beyond #OpenSource / OSS, since it also cares to prevent #DigitalHandcuffs such as #DigitalRestrictionsManagement / #DRM and #RestrictedBoot. Besides, #OpenSource misses this and other points, as explained in https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/open-source-misses-the-point.html and https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-open-overlap.html . Also, most basic levels of certification don't require turning the software non-free.

     @LovesTha @alcinnz@floss.socialMy My first reply clarifies that I agree with you, and made an addemdum to foster #FreeSoftware / #FreeSW if approved in https://directory.fsf.org/ .
