You haven't thought thought this through. What happens with open source? I need a license to make a PR on github. It will also push all software engineering to places where there isn't a license requirement or onto the darknet.
Yes, I have. You aren’t allowed to build a faulty bridge, even free of charge.
Maybe you are allowed to build that faulty bridge in, I dunno, Laos or whatever, and if people go to Laos specifically to drive on your bridge, then that’s on them if it collapses. But countries can and do successfully regulate how software is handled in their jurisdiction, see GDPR for example. It’s not an unsolvable problem, and even if there are cracks (like there are with GDPR), the solution isn’t to throw our hands up and say “welp, nothing to be done, just have to accept that sometimes people’s intimate personal details gets leaked.”
If you think my suggestion is bad (which it very well may be), happy to hear your take on how to prevent things like this and and other negligent software.
