Public policy will need to cover some kind of
social/public/community audit processes on all proprietary
software used by the general public / public authorities. Of
course release code under GPL would be a better option wherever
possible. This will apply to google search as well..<br>
<br>
Though, I dont see this having any chance of happening under the
MS umbrella where deep pocket private interests can successfully
drown out any voices for the public interest...<br>

warm regards,<br>
