Binary provenance	1 on the publisher's own domainThe strongest signal against a repackaged installer: the file should come from the publisher, not from a mirror nobody vouches for.	35 / 35
Served over HTTPS	1 of 1 over HTTPSAn installer fetched over plain HTTP can be modified in transit.	15 / 15
Licence declared	ProprietaryA declared licence tells you what you are actually allowed to do with the software.	5 / 5
