When I spoke at the Moncton Cybsersocial last fall about open source, one businessperson took me aside after and asked, "what about liability?" I didn't have a good answer at the time, but in the days that followed, it occured to me: open source liability isn't risk, it's opportunity. Now, Lloyds of London has found that opportunity. "Lloyd's of London is now offering to insure companies that use open source software against copyright and patent infringement lawsuits." Via Slashdot.
