To extend that line of thing a little further: we should IMHO be warning hobbyist developers about the looming support contracts boom, not the "looming developer liability problem", so that they don't get burned by conditions too unfavorable to them. Profit-makers are going to try to shift the blame in the cheapest ways they can. So contracting that original enthusiast and shifting the blame to them is a no brainer. IMHO there should be a place where turn to for legal support/advice when that comes.
