Yes, when you're selling a product you can price the risk of lawsuits into whatever you're charging customers. You can't do that with free software without making it no longer free.

"No problem: just don't get sued" only works if legal battles are free and/or the law makes it so blatently obvious that you're not liable that nobody would bother to try.
