: I can't say I agree with the idea of software
: developers being liable for software they've
: constructed

For clarity, if the person is the developer, but not the vendor, then there is no liability. It is the organisation who are actually selling the software and saying it will do xyz, that are liable for whether the software does what it says on the tin.

Nice edification by the way ! :-)
