There doesnt seem to be the standard disclaimer that the author asumes no 
responsibility for its use/misuse. (unless "as is" completely covers author's 
liability). 
(ie if it breaks the users computer/data, or the user does malicious/illegal 
things with it).
Which brings up another question, in the case of Joseph's advice, is Joseph 
liable for what others do with his advice?
