this argument is bogus - there's no one to sue even with proprietary
software.

no one has ever sued microsoft (or novell or ibm or any other
proprietary software developer) for their shoddy software, and likely no
one ever will. even if someone ever started the process, it is extremely
unlikely that it would even get to court, let alone be successful.
