Insurance cost is at least somewhat proportional to the amount you are
insuring. Covering the DDs as a group gets into the tens of Millions
pretty quickly. Thus, shifting the burden of liability from the
individual to the corporation is the essential first step in
protecting that individual without breaking the bank.
OK folks - given the news from Microsoft today, it's time to do this.
Will SPI back it? Do I need a resolution? It will help me convince
Software Freedom Law Center to do the work if SPI backs it. It would be
a separate corporation from SPI for legal reasons - like we don't want
to put the Debian trademark in hock.
Thanks
Bruce
