Sounds like companies that use open source in their products will be held liable for bugs in the open source they chose to include in their products... and won't be able to pass the liability on to the open source developers.... instead of consumers taking all the risk. I'm of two minds on that, not sure what to think. But I predict lawyers will go after deep pockets. I don't think they will come after open source devs, even if they were paid in donations.

Not everyone can, but far more people should IMHO. Just being 'open source' doesn't mean anybody actually read it and checked it was good code, didn't have backdoors, etc.
