Here is how a lawyer without open source spirit might look at it :-)
Open Source code is free - thus it is a partner in the any tool built on it or usage there of ! Notwithstanding the terms of self issued licence(s) which states no warranty or support , by virtue of it being free , it is a party because ownership didn't transfer through a financial transaction ..
A car is fully paid , and so is a camera - thus the manufacturer is absolved of any further usage by new owner .. ownership is legally transferred.
open source means there's no owner to begin with. we can all be owners since it doesn't belong to anyone.
That is what you feel (me too ) but in the eyes of law , there is no such thing as "belongs to everyone" unless it is water or air and that too I am not so sure of now a days (land definitely not) ..
anything man made has an owner - home , car .. if your asset is involved in breach of law - you are on the hook . That however doesn't mean you are guilty - you just need to prove your innocence - the burden of proof still on you .. which is a bigger punishment IMHO ..
If someone else used my car to committ a crime with it, I am not liable for the crime.
Unless there is a connection
No one is liable till proven guilty but you will be implicated .. and the burden of proof shifts to you that you didn't give your car as an accomplice .. that is the reason you must file a stolen report as soon as you realize you car (or another asset ) is stolen ...
There is never a burden to prove innocence. There is the state's burden to prove guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
