I have more to write about this, but I think the FOSS world urgently needs to come to grips with the fact that "Sovereignty" and "Liability" are the same thing.

Accountability before the state and accountability to the laws of the state are the same thing,

If devs can be held responsible for their code, what difference does it make at the implementation level if the injured party is the individual or the state?

"Free as in no warranty express or implied" might not be a viable option soon.
