Not only that, almost every software license (FOSS or proprietary) has a similar clause (often in all-caps).


It's funny because I remember the first time I tried Linux (Debian) nearly 25 years ago, that "NO WARRANTY, EVEN FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE" warning in all caps really did leave a bad taste in my mouth, enough to deter me from using it much more until a couple of years later. Nowadays such things are just line noise to me, but back then I remember being lightly concerned.
