> If those are the rules, then the risk is too high for corporations to trust strangers, they shall have to stop using FOSS, the ecosystem collapses (because nobody can build on an untrustable system), and the FOSS experiment fails (in the sense we're back in the bad old days of closed software and while people can develop with FOSS, no same user would trust it for use). Well, yes. There must always be someone you can drag onto the carpet (i.e., sue if it fails or goes rogue). Proprietary software gave you that, at least at the enterprise level. When Microsoft, IBM, et al. sold you software they were staking their professional reputation on that software and the associated support.
