I'm not sure what your point is here, 'Anonymous' above...

There seems to be no indication in the above article that ZD think anything of the potential legal risks of open source software, and neither do Lloyd's.

As the chap says, there is no greater chance of IP violation in the actual code of open source software than in proprietary systems... but there is demand for insurance since the most cost-effective targets for IP laywyers might become big users if there are no big firms responsible for the software itself.
