Privacy requires full transparency. We're is documented with what foss software ddg works and where can I find trusted audit reports?

Even if they were completely open source how would you verify that they are using the same software on their servers? That the hardware is not compromised?

Audit reports? How trustworthy are they if Symantec was able to provide good reports for such a long time for their certificate issuance when things were clearly not ok.

For example if they used AGPL software, it would be much harder for them to cheat. But you can never get 100% confidence.
ddg's server and js are closed/proprietary, if I remember right.
