The sorry state of medical IT and medical device vendors is not Mozilla's fault. It is especially not Mozilla's fault if medical organizations and their vendors are rolling out updates they haven't tested themselves. You're probably aware that in many, if not almost all commercial EULAs, you'll find an all-caps passage like this one I just pulled out of Apple's OS X license document: > E. YOU FURTHER ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE APPLE SOFTWARE AND SERVICES ARE NOT INTENDED OR SUITABLE FOR USE IN SITUATIONS OR ENVIRONMENTS WHERE THE FAILURE OR TIME DELAYS OF, OR ERRORS OR INACCURACIES IN THE CONTENT, DATA OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY, THE APPLE SOFTWARE OR SERVICES COULD LEAD TO DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, OR SEVERE PHYSICAL OR ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE OPERATION OF NUCLEAR FACILITIES, AIRCRAFT NAVIGATION OR COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS, AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL, LIFE SUPPORT OR WEAPONS SYSTEMS. It's stated clearly and at length because absolutely no one writing general-purpose software wants to bear this responsibility. FOSS no less than commercial, but FOSS is generally a less-attractive lawsuit target. Trying to foist this responsibility onto Mozilla is just evil. They didn't ask for it. They didn't offer their software as a solution to medical IT's woes. But you want to blame them for obvious misuse of their software causing harm to patients. If I were to die of an aneurysm tomorrow, would it be your fault for not being a competent neurosurgeon and healing me? No. Nor should it be Mozilla's fault that it does not produce a medical device, but a piece of software someone has decided to misuse as one.
