A new wrinkle

"The new company, Open Source Risk Management (OSRM),
set up by lawyer and venture capitalist Daniel Egger,
plans to offer standard product liability insurance to
major Linux vendors, big corporate users and
individual developers of Linux."

"After a rigorous six-month process of examining the
individual software files in the Linux kernel and
tracing their origins, OSRM found no copyright
infringement in kernel versions 2.4 and 2.6," Egger,
OSRM's chairman, said in an interview. He was
referring to the two most commonly used versions of
the Linux operating system."
