The "No warranty" clauses on so much open source software isn't a joke. It is completely serious. Beyond "best effort" noone is responsible if companies run software where they didn't fully assess their BoM and as a result get damaged by what they don't know. The failure mode you describe is NOT OUR PROBLEM. Beyond best effort, that is. > I have a big proposal. It would require some tough rules to avoid being > a disaster tree. But it would leave these ports visible. You have a really big mouth. Why don't you have hard working hands to match? It might be surprising, but the usual way of handling defective software is to FIX IT, rather than writing more hand-wringing text about it which noone will read.
