How in the world is this good for devs? It's terrible. Do you really think that "big corp" will not figure out how to pass the liability directly to the author?

What will happen the opensource world once you're held liable for some moron who uses some software I wrote for myself? or incorrectly uses it?

do you really believe the curl should be held liable because some POST failed and a user lost something over it?

what about my old backup scripts? I need to remove them from my repos?
