It is good that Hive, like FOSS, is open source, because it has that same power that enables FOSS to investigate software to investigate DHF fund recipients. There is no formal committee that audits code, but anyone or everyone can do so, and those with the skill and the interest do. I am confident the same will happen on Hive, and that if irregularities are found the finder can simply post on Hive that an audit is necessary and why. DHF fund recipients can either simply comply and enable an audit, or respond and say why they shouldn't. Folks can decide for themselves whether they support an audit or not, and if they do then we can demand an audit. If the fund recipient refuses, they will not receive funding again, and we could refer them to law enforcement if they are suspected of crimes, such as theft by fraud.
We don't all need to read the books. We only need the books to be available, and someone will. That's how open source works, and it works well.
True but as opposed to open source, you can't modify anything. Yes, you can report but without the authority it is very hard to make any adjustments.
Of course you can commit code to stop any proposals but that doesn't mean the community will execute that code. And so is the main problem with many of these rouge proposal beneficiaries.
Also nobody is rewarding this activity which can be tedious, controversial and even unpopular. So there should be some kind of reward to ensure continuity.
