UK Court Says Software Company Can Be Liable For Buggy Software

,----[ Quote ]
| That said, software liability has been a hot 
| topic in Europe lately, and now Slashdot points 
| us to the news that the UK High Court has ruled 
| that a software company can be liable for buggy 
| software. More specifically, the court found 
| that a clause in the license agreement, which 
| said it would not be liable for defects was 
| found to be an unfair contract term.
