↳ In-reply-to » @marado @prologic personally I think there are good arguments in favor of accountability standards for some open source projects. Not all, obviously. But it is insane to act as though open source contributors bear exactly 0 responsibility in cases where they know full well that they are contributing code to potentially dangerous projects, and/or know they will profit from those contributions. We don't do that in any other sphere of life and shouldn't be doing it with software either. People die from this shit, or lose their life savings.

Yes this is true and I thought of this too in my analogy.

The question is to what extent should lowly free time non-paid open source developers be liable vs. say large corporations that commercially benefit and profit from open source and don’t contribute a dime back?
