Serial litigant Craig Wright recently won
a procedural ruling in a London court that allows a
multi-billion-dollar Bitcoin-related lawsuit to proceed. This case has
raised a fair amount of concern within the free-software community, where
it is seen as threatening the “no warranty” language included in almost
every free-software license. As it happens, this case does not actually
involve that language, but it has some potentially worrisome implications
anyway.
