>if you are worried about misuses
why is morality into this? is this the same discussion of car manufacturers not selling cars to certain people because they are worried about misuse?
- sanxiyn 4y agoAutomotive companies, in fact, have product liability. It's about liability, not morality.
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agowhen you release a project into the wild under a permissive license, aren't you essentially washing yourself from any "liability" ? > MIT " IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE." don't commercial licenses have same/similar wording so what liability are you talking about?
