On complex systems, it is very hard to draw the line between willingly missing out critial issues and sincerely doing so.<p>Basically, it will end up that any non-permanently audited assembly written software by possibly anybody (that would make open source mandatory by law), and non-permanently audited hardware (that would make VHDL&#x2F;Verilog open source mandatory by law) would become illegal.
