Well LL cannot possibly write a clause that shifts the liability onto the users for their own bugs, this would be an abusive clause, and I really don't think that is what they tried to achieve. As I said, an abusive clause does not stand in court anyway, so this point is rather moot. What they want

I agree, there is no question of distributing a binary + it's code with a warranty, but to do so LL must remove the "no warranty" clause from the original code or else our own code, if based on theirs, must mention it as well, voiding our own liability. It cannot be one without the other.

It would be wise to stay on the side of caution and presume anyone who distributes the viewer is liable, even if they are not the ones who introduced the original defects. Even with that being said though, personally I would never dream of giving away software free of charge if it includes a warran
