Nobody is hiding anything, the policy is impossible to enforce and therefore pointless.

It's also impossible to enforce child labour being used on the Linux kernel, but we can reasonably assume it isn't being used and if it was discovered that it had been, there would be consequences. 'People will just lie' is a bad argument, we assume a level of ethical integrity and basic decency from others.

Can we? I mean, without a X-Child-Labour: False tag in the git signature, who is to say?

And yet the kernel maintainers refuse to add a child labour tag!

Why are they afraid of transparency? What are they hiding??
