Here's how it works when the product is not constrained by geography: business and managers have the job done somewhere else.

  You're entirely correct that today'd global economy is one of the many imperfections of the system I alluded to in my original post. It's mostly easy to constrain for civil works, once again. You design a bridge in a given province, you have to be licensed in that province (state, country, what have you). It's much harder, say, for an automotive engineer, who works in Canada, using designs from German engineers for cars sold in the US and manufactured in Mexico.

    Yes, but in the case of the auto industry, there are very clear and objective standards under which the final product is held up, and there are real liability concerns if the company in question or its engineers fail to live up to those standards. If you started being held legally liable for the code you write I bet the tune would change really quickly for a lot of people.
