> If you use open source you are accepting the license that says that there is no liability.

The article directly contradicts this:

> What if an open source project is used directly by consumers, and causes them harm? The public policy is clear: they must be compensated. Does it matter if they signed a license or didn’t pay someone? Their business is bankrupt, their files are in a hacker’s hands, or their own customers are suing them. Someone should be strictly liable.

The article is wrong. It is only the case if the consumers are paying a commercial license or are monetized via ads or tracking.
