Making vendors liable for damages is a great idea but I think the result 
would be inflated product prices as a result of inflated insurance 
premiums and still no better security. This also creates market pressure 
that ultimately prevents competition and stifles innovation.

What about open source? What about the little guy?

The Vulnerability market is a great idea but I think the form it exists 
in today is sufficient. Evolving it into an official market creates an 
opportunity to insert bugs into the application to later sell for a 
large financial gain.
