I build a privacy-friendly open-source consent manager (https://github.com/kiprotect/klaro). I never like the IAB and told people that I regard it as unlawful (since e.g. a user cannot possibly make an informed decision that involves thousands of third-parties), but many of our users kept asking about it since it was "the way" to become compliant.
So I finally asked the IAB how one could potentially implement their framework as an open-source framework. Their answer was basically that it's not possible. You have to register as a CMP provider and ensure that your users are using your software in their compliant (ha ha) way, which is of course impossible to enforce with an open-source software that everyone can self-host.
So I'm quite happy we never got around to implement this "feature" in our CMP, and I hope the IAB will quickly die and takes all those alibi CMP providers down with them.
