It certainly is painful. People won't take any responsibility for their
own actions or in-actions. It may take 72 point blinking warnings but if
that's what it takes... We use open source software everyday and I
almost never hear of anyone getting sued unless it's something stupid
like the patent troll companies or one big company being egged on to go
after others under frivolous circumstances.
