Massachusetts | Product Liability
I am publishing an open source software that displays real time driving info such as speed, engine RPM, coolant temperature, etc. on a car PC (a computer installed in the car by the driver/software user). In a standard disclaimer of liability for open source software license it includes a list of examples of damages:
"(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES;
LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION)".
May I add to the list explicitly the damages related to car accidents, such as
"DEATH; INJURY; COLLISION AND/OR DAMAGE TO VEHICLES; LIABILITY FOR ACCIDENTS; TRAFFIC VIOLATION FINES;"
so that I will be shielded from law suits by people who misuse the software and get into car accidents?
Thank you!
