Former red hat employee and open source developer myself. I am working on a system where the whole design requires the code to be open, so eliminates a lot of bad actors by default.

I think the current model of relying on licenses to enforce open source software is subject to interpretation by humans and hard to enforce.

When you say “open”, do you mean Public Domain?

SQLite has found that to be quite effective.

Good point, and the answer is "I'm not sure". I've made a system where code is published by default with all apps and components released, so the only way to hide code would be to obfuscate the code. I'm not even sure how this would fit into existing licenses/copyright law
