Agreed. Revising our laws to either provide strict product liability *or*
reversion of abandonned IP to the public would seem pragmatic. Somehow i
doubt those terms are built into the closed-text Trans Pacific Partnership
treaty that we're being asked to accept sight-unseen. ​

Alas they'd probably dodge liability by saying it was past its useful life
... however useful it is to us.
