Legal Question in Business Law in New York
Publishing free software program
Hi. I've developed a software program that I would like to publish as a free product. I'd like to consider a few options: do I publish it under my own name or do I create a business entity? If so, what kind of company? Since the product will be free I am more concerned with liability issues rather than tax implications but if the product is successful I might start charging for it in one of the next releases so the tax question might be important as well. Thank you.

If you are concerned about potential liability issues or future taxation of profits, a corporate structure is certainly a good option.
