Re: [Fedora-legal-list] ssh enable and firewall open for sshd connection by default after install who's legally liable?.

I think there is being a point missed here. As ambassador you are just handing out a disk. You are not:

1. Putting it into a persons machine. 2. Installing it for them. 3. You have not been instructed by them to provide a service. 4. Maliciously and recklessly installing something, without their consent. 5. Providing them with a written/verbal guarantee that it will not eat his/her Children.

Probably a few other points I have missed.

I think the key protection here is that the end-user does not end up in a service agreement, or has purchased a product, nor that Fedora is deployed without his/her consent.

P.s.: Of course, there might be a weird and wonderful country, where handing out free software is a crime, or anything free for that matter. However unlikely that is! But legal systems are weird and wonderful like a bunch of parrots.
