The article got me a bit worried about the idea of developing software out in the open, and the comments in this thread give me conflicting ideas.

If I make a public repository `ComputerCleaner` with a single file:

  #!/usr/bin/env bash

  # <imagine an MIT license here>

  rm -rf /

Should I soon expect to be defending legal threats from random strangers who ran this code only to gasp find that it deleted their files?
