Almost all software has a no warranty clause. I am not a lawyer but in pretty plain English every piece of software I have ever used has said exactly that I can fuck off if I expect it to work or do anything.
To clarify - I dont think it is naive to assume the software is as-is with all responsibilities on the user since that is exactly what lawyers have made all software companies say that for over 50 years.
this seems highly unlikely. Almost all of the software we're discussing in this context has little or no resources behind it. No lawyers are going to sue an OSS developer because there's no payday.
No source because it's not real. There's talk about final products and making the companies selling them responsible. But open source developers are not responsible.
I'm not sure what your point is. I was saying it's naive to think that everyone is going to review all dependencies, and we can do better than requiring them to.
How can we promise to "do better" when shit like "no author or distributor accepts responsibility to anyone for the consequences of using it or for whether it serves any particular purpose or works at all" is in the legal agreement of the software you are using?
Making someone agree to that while simultaneously on the side making promises that the software works is used car salesman gimmicks. The only things that matters is what you put in writing.
