- Although the Bugzilla development team has taken great care to

- documented or fixed in the code, security holes surely exist.
- Great care should be taken both in the installation and usage of
- this software. Carefully consider the implications of installing
- other network services with Bugzilla. The Bugzilla development
- team members, Netscape Communications, America Online Inc., and
- any affiliated developers or sponsors assume no liability for
- your use of this product. You have the source code to this
