BTW: this is dose not warrant legal console (or is it too late) ;

> You can protect yourself and clients with a software license.  You are
> protected by the IP portion and your clients by the warranty section. 
> Here you can mitigate your clients risk by taking some or all of it on,
> even offer your clients full indemnification, all for a charge.  Or, as
> the other extreme, us "AS IS" verbiage.  You can also sell warranties
> for many OSS (but refer to the specific license for the project).
> 
> The OSRM group also offers insurance for open source stuff.

> Redhat and HP offer indemnification protection for their Linux-based
> products.
