So, by that logic, Tatu Ylönen should be held responsible for all hacks/crimes committed via ssh?
You can't blame someone for making a tool that someone else uses for evil. Should Ford be responsible for all auto-related deaths? Should Edison be responsible for all deaths where the state put someone to death via electrocution? Should Jobs be responsible because a hacker used an OSX machine to hack into another machine?
I don't get this line of thinking, although I understand the sentiment.
