"The third area, and this is where the committee has been most far-sighted, and therefore in the short term this may well be their most controversial recommendation, is that they wish to see a software liability regime, viz: that software companies should become responsible for their security failures.....
"and in practice it may be a decade or two before theres sufficient case law for vendors to know quite where they stand if they ship a product with a buffer overflow, or a race condition, or just a default password...."
Competitive advantage to be exploited here.
