@vmbrasseur I've felt this way for decades. CRA, PLD et al go somewhat in that direction but are insufficient.

I could even live with it if it meant operating a hobbyist server required the equivalent of a HAM license.

But, yes, large projects should require certified chartered engineers - at a certain impact, with mandatory independent review. (Such as, uh, for diesel cars, dear VW.)

@vmbrasseur it’s hard to see how it wouldn’t change open source. If one’s license was on the line if I used some open source project, you know the typical engineer wouldn’t ever sign off on it.

I’d also point out that software is typically under greater scrutiny in those safety critical industries already, which I’m not sure licensing would change much.

In not sure “AI” changes much here either from this decades old debate, though it is interesting.
