No, but I'm having a hard time envisioning a regulatory body akin to the FDA for all software. And even ingredient lists contain terms like "natural flavors" which hide some arguably important aspects of the composition.

I do too, because I think copyright will be extended until forever - but the power given to the FDA was hard to imagine before Lash-Lure. Maybe it'll take a badly coded toy or self-driving car to kill or maim a lot of people to create a Source Code Distribution Administration.

Controversially.
