Disclaiming liability and such is an important F/OSS norm. Of course, proprietary software will improve on this (only) if forced to by competition. The omnipresence of EULAs is a much bigger problem, though. I think the F/OSS n

A few nitpicks: It looks like this implementation only works on the requestor side of the conversation -- that when we create / encode / write a header, it's presumed to be a request; when we read or decode a header, it'

My initial take is that Piketty’s response contains much verbiage and a bit of fist-shaking, but surprisingly little additional information that would rectify some of the criticisms that have been made. http://philmagness.com&#
