Ask HN: How do you deal with bugs in software you sell?
Legally, how do you deal with bugs that soon or later will appear in your product that you sell to clients and/or is commissioned by them?
Is there some way to tell the client,the software will have bug but still convincing them to buy your software?
I know that there exists various license that states that your software is "AS IS", how can I improve this legally and commercially when selling the product?
