Well, I talked to the company in Oldenburg today, and they told me they
don't make any insurance for private people. They only work for middle
class companies. The support for FFIS was a special case, the woman told
me on the phone.
So this way, I think, no open-source project can get an insurance.
Instead, we need an organization like the LinuxTag which acts as a
insurance holder.
Or has anybody another solution?
