This is exactly why my FOSS licenses have a provision making them null and void if there is any legal duty for the programmer to the user.
It is also one part of why I don't want to deal with Europe.
- arlcode 3y agoIn this case I would assume it's void almost anywhere because I don't know of a single place in the world that does not require developers to avoid putting intentionally malicious software into their foss with the ultimate goal to harm users. That requirement is something you usually can't waive with a LICENSE file either.
- gavinhoward 3y agoFair. In truth, I worded it wrong in my first comment. Suffice to say that I am paying a lawyer right now to avoid problems like that. Of course, the usual typical legal duties will still exist. But anything beyond that, such as fuduciary duty, will not exist.
