Taking On Software Liability - Again

Posted by Zonk on from the round-two dept.

An anonymous reader writes "You may remember an article in which a BBC correspondent wrote an article criticising current software licenses. In answer to the huge discussion that this brought about, he has written another article defending his views. From the article: 'It is possible to make error-free code, or at least to get a lot closer to it than we do at the moment, but it takes time and effort. Doing it will probably mean that commercially-available code is more expensive and cause major problems for free and open source software developers. But I still believe that the current situation is unsustainable, and that we should be working harder to improve the quality of the code out there.'"

    That's because a plain Quarter Pounder isn't on the menu anymore. If you said Quarter Pounder, the default is with cheese unless you explicitly tell them to customize it "Without Cheese".
