[OT] Right to use vs. sue (was: No call for Ada...)

["amado.alves" <amado.alves@netcabo.pt>]

I like Kazakov's idea of, basically, selling warranty instead of bits.
However I see this problem: only BIG entities are capable of effectively providing warranty. So the model (if pushed by law) would put small developers out of business.

/* However I note that when a big company warrants some system (e.g. a airplane) that contains software, they are of necessity warranting the contained software,
parts of which might have been done by small companies. */

And why do you think the copyright system works poorly? Aren't zillions of creators living of them, some quite well? Why can't this work for software?
