Is there a license that forces you to read the source code before using the software? I'd license my stuff under that: THE BAZ PUBLIC LICENSE (hereinafter the BPL) Under the terms of the BPL you MUST first read all source code and get a pretty good understanding of what it all does before using THE SOFTWARE. You MUST report bugs or problems to THE AUTHOR but you MUST NOT expect them to be fixed. You MUST fix them YOURSELF if you think you may be technically capable or if YOU think YOU are a better programmer than THE AUTHOR. Otherwise YOU must SHUT UP.
