If you sell software to me and charge money for maintenance it is quite clear
in my mind that you are defrauding me if you don't fix y2k problems. I don't
think that anybody on this side of the atlantic would think that it is
reasonable to charge extra money to make the software work as expected.
Notice that many OS vendors (e.g. HP, SGI and SUN) release free y2k patches for
their supported operating systems. I'm quite certain that they would face
lawsuits and a lot of aggravated customers if they didn't.
I'm pretty sure that any vendor who have released software that is supposed to
be used after 1999 will find himself in trouble if he tries to charge extra for
y2k fixes. I don't think anybody can claim that y2k is something that suddenly
happened and the vendor could not possibly foresee it.
