IANAL, but I suspect in a lot of jurisdictions, if you charge for the software, you can't "disclaim the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose", as GPL has it.

@only_ohm@mas.to @egoldblatt@gardenstate.social @pafurijaz@mastodon.social Normal End User License Agreements also disclaim fitness for any purpose, but I think that's a threshold linux needs to cross if it wants to gain mass appeal. Like, you would never accept "unfit for any purpose" from your food, your furniture or your car, or anything else we rely on, but in software that's ok?
