If I offer up a new application source code set how do you propose to detect lying?

Say a young developer from a foreign country offers up a new application source code:

How do you conclusively detect:

_Ethical breaches?_ Please define ethics. Is there a standard international definition?

Was that definition agreed to by China, North Korea, and Cuba? Love to hear from the

EU on this one. Have they finished their debate on the definition of Sausage yet?

_Legal breaches?_ Copyrights? Trade Marks? Patent Violations But then in what country?

Whats legal in China may be illegal in the US and visa versa?

_Lying?_ How do you determine the absolute truth when communicating across languages

and cultures?

Trustworthiness? What dose the developer need to do? Include a note from his priest?

If you're lying about it, you are by definition untrustworthy
and I don't want your code in Debian.

PS: I am not a salesman have BSEE and MSCS!
I have ethics and self-respect.
