I am making a Public repo for the first time. It’s not mutch , just a script to setup a podman container. But i am afraid of people messing up their devices and blaming me 😅. Do you guys think i should put a disclaimer in the main page of the repo? If yes, what kind of disclaimer should i use? I’ve never really dived into the legal side of things.

    While it feels a bit overkill for what is essentially 60 lines of bash, i think it’s the best option. As you have already said, they have been thoroughly battle tested, so there shouldn’t be any problems. So yes, most likely i’ll go with this.

    Thanks mate.

      You don’t know if those 60 lines of bash are worth something to corporate america. Any code we write has value, how much value is rarely up to us.

      A few months ago we had a guy playing a side project he did where he used a model to replace clothing on people so you could try something on and see how you looked. I begged him to add a license to his repo, and he still hasn’t, because “it’s just a bit of python”. Like dude you don’t see it but you just game Nordstrom or Macy’s millions of dollars for free man! Guy didn’t see it.

      So yeah. Maybe it’s just a helper script. Who cares. Adding the license is free and takes seconds, and who knows, maybe you solve a million dollar problem.
