> I appreciate that we’re finding the humour in this catastrophe but what about the question of liability?

One of the biggest and most used piece of software (the Linux kernel) comes with zero warranties. It can fail, and no one would be liable. Are we fine with that? Is the CS case different because it costs money? From an user perspective we don’t want software failing in the middle of an airplane landing, so whether the software comes from CS or github, it’s of lesser importance.
