While this is simple if you think about selling a copy of SuSE Linux or two, the customers in this case are usually bigger corporates with enormous legal departments and the software in question can become mission critical for some of them.
This means risk. But also (according to the SIC) profit.
In this case, the risk is also mine, as I will most likely end up evaluating "software quality". I do not know of any entity that would do this as a service (if there are, I'd love to hear about it), and while there are some classics ("Do they have more than one developer on their staff of sixty who can handle their own code?"), someone might have had a similar problem before.
So — What would a Slashdot Reader do ?"
