Has any FOSS developer ever been found liable (or even sued)?

Not that I have any objections to this plan but it might be worth
considering that it's much easier to sue a single entity then it is to
file a tort against a few tens or hundreds of contributors.

Yes, the guy who wrote an open source DVD player for Linux was sued by the consortium of companies that own the IP for DVD's. I don't remember the result, but the EFF archives should have something on it.
