Macromedia SDK License: You Must Debug

Daniel Grund writes: "I noticed Macromedia has an SDK to help programmers write software that can generate SWF files. So, being curious, I skimmed their licensing agreement to see what I could see. Amusingly enough, sections 3f and 3g actually give the SDK user the legal obligation to debug their code! Of course, only bugs that cause the SWF files to be erroneous are required to be fixed. However, in theory, if you wrote a program that makes buggy SWF files, you could be sued by Macromedia (but only if you do it using the SDK I guess.) How's that for pressure on the Quality Assurance people; you not only annoy the customers if you fail, you also get the company sued."

    Debugging is for pussies. This is open-sores land. If your users can't fix your bugs then they don't deserve the software!

    I'll feed the troll.

    2. Debugging your product is a natural phase of development. Maybe not in the OSS world, but certainly in business.

    so MS debugs? This is news to me. Get a clue fucktard.

    You are all sick and disgusting pedophiliac lowlifes. How can you even think of those two sweet girls as anything other than the darlings of Full House?

    Shame on all of you!
