You might want to review what you've posted to lists regarding vulnerabilities,
and ask yourself - if F-Secure gets held to some legal standard of liability.
where do you end up yourself?

I don't know who's going to end up the test case/poster child for vulnerability
liability - but it's much more likely to be an individual that posts to
this list and can't afford a lawyer than a corporation with deep pockets
like F-Secure....
