Chris,

Here is what I propose. You download all the public releases, you
make an MD5 sum of what is there, you publish it in your Web
site, you write a paper to certify that version with the MD5 bits
is indeed a "safe one to use" (this is easy to do, the ACVC
regressions are free).

This is the way I see the "open" in "open source", you have access
to the source, so you can offer services not covered by the current
market.

Pascal.
