Enterprise technology for the real world.
Another sign of the continuing attempts to mature the OSS business:
Lloyd's may offer open-source indemnity
Lloyd's of London, the oldest insurance organization in the world, may soon underwrite open-source software against claims of intellectual property infringement.
http://news.com.com/Lloyds+may+offer+open-source+indemnity/2100-7344_3-5833077.html?tag=cd.top
Once pricing for these policies is available, that should help enterprises get a much clear picture of the real cost of Open Source Software by providing a more complete cost model.
Needless to say, I'm sure the price for these indemnity policies will be > zero.
