This is why many open source licenses come with explicit warranty disclaimers.

That doesn't protect you against violating someone else's license. If you never make it opensource, nobody has to know.
Good point, although what would cause a situation like this? Releasing source code with a modified version of a GPL-licensed library, but with an incompatible license? Wouldn't that be a problem when you're distributing software anyway, regardless of whether it's open-source or not?
