It is not a "slogan" and there is no hiding. Read that sentence again. And since you have been so unwilling to understand it: read it again. Done it yet? Three times at least so far? Good. Again, it is not a slogan, it is a statement you accept when using the software. You seem a little slow, so I'll paste the important parts taken from a random file in the source tree. I don't think I took this from any of the parts you are specifically complaining about, but I don't really care enough to do so. The basic premise is the same for all of them. Here it is: * THIS SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED BY THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND CONTRIBUTORS * "AS IS" AND ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT * LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS * FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE ARE DISCLAIMED. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE * COPYRIGHT HOLDERS OR CONTRIBUTORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, * INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, * BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS OR SERVICES; * LOSS OF USE, DATA, OR PROFITS; OR BUSINESS INTERRUPTION) HOWEVER * CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT * LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN * ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OF THIS SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE * POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. Read that a few times. Maybe it will sink in. The developers work on this stuff because they want to. We are free to use and enjoy it for whatever we wish but we cannot "blame" them for anything. The developers, being that they enjoy what they do, are willing to help fix problems but are under no obligation to do so. If this agreement does not work for you then please move on. (apologies to the devs if I have misspoken or misunderstood the terms under which you allow us to use your works)
