This is extremely common. Otherwise licenses wouldn't include clauses like > 15. BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
> WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.
> EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR
> OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY
> KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE
> IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
> PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
> LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
> THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. They're not required to fix anything, and by including that disclaimer imply that they won't necessarily even intend to fix anything. They disclaim liability, and you, the user, "ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION". Proprietary software pretty much always has similar clauses too. It's not an issue with open-source, it's an issue with software in general. |
