Yes. The developers of software have a fiduciary duty to users of their software.

The UK court of appeals already determined that the MIT license does not eliminate these duties when it found the authors of Bitcoin Core liable for billions of pounds of damages to Satoshi Nakamoto when they failed to change the Bitcoin protocol to return the coins that hackers took from him.

If you don't want to get sued and end up homeless and bankrupt like those Bitcoin Core developers you need to learn to obey the law and act in the best interest of your user.

This is already true in the UK. The "open source" developers of Bitcoin Core were personally bankrupt with a multi-billion pound judgement because they refused to alter the protocol to allow Satoshi to recover coins a hacker took from him.

Developers have a duty of care to their users which no license can remove. You either make good software and comply with your duty or you will be ruined. That is the law.

Next year those Bitcoin developers will go to prison because the have not paid the billions they owe. Open source communism doesn't protect you from the law.

This makes a lot of sense if you follow judgements internationally.

Last year in the UK the creator of BitCoin won a multi-billion pound judgement against usurper "open source" developers who refused to alter the protocol to allow him to recover coins a hacker took from him.

Developers have a duty of care to their users which no license can remove even if they are communists calling themselves "open source". You either make good software and comply with your duty or you will be ruined. That is the law.
