| Although the Bugzilla development team has taken great care to |
| ensure that all exploitable bugs have been fixed, security holes surely |
| exist in any piece of code. Great care should be taken both in |
| the installation and usage of this software. The Bugzilla development |
| team members assume no liability for your use of Bugzilla. You have |
| the source code, and are responsible for auditing it yourself to ensure |
| your security needs are met. |
