In the case of free (libre) open source
software, such a case would have no merit, because such software never
promises anyone *anything*.
If that is the case, it's because the software license explicitly says
so - which is the reason for all those uppercase words in those
licenses. Which brings us right back to where we started.
It doesn't have to say so, if it's not charging any money -- there's
no expectation that you're getting anything at all! Where does
everyone come up with these bullshit ideas? And them let them stand
as de facto law?
Where do YOU come up with the idea that you can't be sued if money
didn't change hands? In what jurisdiction is that true? Unless it's
true in every jurisdiction that the internet touches, I wouldn't trust
it to protect me.
