      If it's not free (as in freedom) software and I can't compile the version of the sources that the community inspected, then I don't really care that some source code is publicly shown. I can't verify that it's actually the code I run when downloading the precompiled app. Thinking of it, it would be interesting to be able to display such proof…

        If you can't ensure that the code you're running is compiled from the version of the sources that the community inspected, then yes, that isn't any useful version of "the source is published". However, verification is a technical problem, not a licensing one. It's probably -easier- for free software, but that doesn't mean that's a necessary characteristic to be able to achive the goal of 'usefully aduited'.
