Re: "Enclosed shops" Re: HTML5 and DRM - A Middle Path?

Interesting point, I like it... Only flaws I see is that it would require
that also should be published the compilation environment to be sure that
the generated blob is the same released two years ago and not a cleaned
version, and also that in any case the bad would be done after all... Only
thing is, that it would be used as an evidence on their bad tactics on a
tribunal... Seems to be a reasonable option for closed software, in any
case, it's generally accepted that a software older of one year is
outdated... :-)
