Some commercial software licenses may include various disclaimers which exist to ward away litigious assholes. They only serve to protect the vendor against legal complaints, and do not impart responsibilities upon the vendor. Such disclaimers are not necessary but corporate lawyers have a raison d'être, and at a certain scale assholes become inevitable.
