Comment on Should developers be sued for security holes?

Comments

If the restaurant poison you, you will sue the restaurant owner, the restaurant owner can sue the cook, but i'm not sure you can or would sue directly the cook, that would suppose you know who cooked your meal i guess.

Also I believe if a new branch of software industry was developed where every library, os, patch, updates, firmware , framework is certified as "developed without any negligence for any use " only the defence and nuclear industry would be able to afford it. Actually I guess they already did that for their own use.

So the wish to have a software certified without negligence (and for any use the customer use it) is probably too expensive and customer would just keep buying the same as today if they would be given the choice.
