>From the GPL:

"Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not
covered by this License; they are outside its scope.  The act of

is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the

Whether that is true depends on what the Program does."

I do frequently see a disclaimer of warranty -- not sure if that is part of 
the GPL or a common addition. I would think using the software is an 
acceptance of such disclaimers.
