that open-source developers are increasingly likely to be held liable for flaws in their code and suggests a solution: Indemnification means one party, in particular circumstances, agreeing to be on the hook for the legal responsibilities of another party. This is actually a well known way not of avoiding liability but transferring it to where it belongs. As such, it’s easily sellable in the court of public opinion: we’re not looking to avoid liability, merely trying to make sure it lands on those who are making all the money from the code.
