First: obviously the issue is the exact wording of the contract.

Second: even if you have a contract that calls for fixing bugs,
companies are maintaining that Y2K problems are not covered.
It is far from clear how courts will rule in such cases. Rulings
so far and associated settlements, have been mixed. Most likely
unless the maintenance contract is VERY VERY clear on the point,
you will find that it does not cover Y2K stuff.

The law is not always the way you guess it would be according
to your view of common sense.
