[2]yes, there are individuals in the debian world 'accountable' for
making sure things work, but nobody who is 'accountable' in the legal
sense, so far as I know. In essence, what legal recourse do you have if
the Debian kernel/xen melts your processors, eats your data, etc?
-------------------------------------------
The legal accountable issue brings up a question I've had in mind about
software in general. Perhaps this isn't the best place for me to bring
this up but I'm going to throw it out there anyway.
I was under the impression that almost all software licenses, the GPL
included, divorce themselves for any accountability of damages that the
software does. It has been awhile since I've read a MS software license
but I thought that they did the same.
Am I totally off here?
IANAL, and I don't have a clue how far legal accountability extends, but
at the end of the day, if you have a purchased RHEL or VMware license,
you know there are numbers you can call for support you're legally
entitled to. That's one of the key differences in this particular
situation, as I see it.
