The States have their own engineering boards to give out and monitor engineer license status. Why isn't there one for software engineering?

Because unlike developers, engineers from poor countries can't build stuff remotely.

In case there's requirement to hire only software engineers with licence then companies will just outsource as much as they can.

When did the people in the outsourcing countries suddenly get a state endorsed software engineering license? I would think the opposite would happen, it would restrict outsourcing until other countries had similar licenses for software engineers.

Oh you sound so naive my dude.

These corporations would just 'buy' products or services from third parties.

What is the US government going to do? Stop Bank of America from getting service from Infosys or some other vendor?
