You still run the risk of being sued open source or no.
I don't think the shield of LLC liability or open source license disclaimer will necessarily help the guy there (as people can still personally sue him), but I can't see it hurting.
It's also important to distinguish between liability and errors and omissions (what tptacek called professional liability insurance). Make sure if you do buy insurance, it's the right type. Each type protects you against claims only of a certain type.
- tptacek 16y agoForming an LLC won't hurt you. It will help with other things. But it will do nothing to address the legal risk this guy is talking about.
