Re: Another bug of debian package --- Validation issue
If one has a heart to run free servive, people will
aprreciate it
If one run a free service with a cheating, it is not
moral
Let's have a look at one example
Imagine a street seller sold food to the people who
passed by. One of them ate it and got an alergy.
He/she died in the hospital. The street seller may
not get caught. However, do you think the government
will ignore the case and let it happen twice?
