Because we also allow modified works to be redistributed. Someone else could use that feature in a derived work, redistribute the result, thereby cause breakage. I'm not saying we *need* a warranty disclaimer. I'm saying that, because of that possibility, it's prudent to have one in the license terms. -- \ “It is the integrity of each individual human that is in final | `\ examination.
