No problem. Though I use the standard BSD license with disclaimer, I would have no problem offering a warranty. "If for any reason you are dissatisfied with the software, the purchase price paid to the author will be refunded in full." Of course, I give my software away. But even commercial Open Source companies should be able to do at least that. Liability is a different kettle of fish entirely. -- David Johnson ___________________ http://www.usermode.org pgp public key on website -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
