Now you tell me.  :-)

It's probably the case in the majority of markets that one is
obligated to provide some kind of support for the products one
sells.

I'm betting these laws have not yet been applied to the
*freely provided source code* that accompanies open source
software, even if the distribution of the software itself
(not the source) is matched by a big fat cheque from the
customer.  And I'll bet they won't be any time soon.
