You can understand putting terms like that in a gpl license or freeware 
since you arent profiting from it, but if you are making money out of a 
software package then i think you should be liable to at least a minimum 
extent to damage done, it should at least be garunteed to be fit for the 
stated purpose, ie the windows me operating system should operate. Hah!
