That's the difference between relying on a opensource distro and a commercial |
| 11 |
counterpart. In the latter case you've someone, who can be held liable, since |
| 12 |
you (or your customer) paid for it. Unless you provide a fix, your customer |
| 13 |
is absolutely right to blame you, but you're wrong, if you think you can |
| 14 |
shift it upon someone else. Clamouring doesn't help, do a better job next |
| 15 |
time. It is your economical risk. |
