They can be sued but they can not lose, even if they intentionally would put a `rm -rf /` in the code. In the law domain: (i) words, sentences, punctuation even -- have much stricter meaning. Not necessarily the same as popular one. Sometimes particular wording has meaning to the contrary of what layman may understand. (ii) Text written in proper legalese has real life effects. Often immediate ones -- as with widely approved Open Source licenses. FYI that enumerated cases in the license disclaimer part stem from past litigation where someone litigated and won on given case. See: [1] "Hojgaard v EON" for most recent example. Disclaimer: always hire a lawyer to read any legalese for you. However expensive it could be, it might be way cheaper than future effects of your own understanding of what you read ;). I am not a lawyer of course :).
