This indemnification all depends on the contracts you have with your client and the supported hardware you need. Tomcat and apache fundation in particular do not give any warranty on this product. It's free but if you sell products based on it, you assumed needed responsability. Note that i wouldn't think it very different if you used a commercial product in it, the vendor could tell you when you have a prob with your client that you didn't use as it was meaned to.
One way i have seen here tomcat used as a commercial product (tomcat+application bundle), the company sold us the Application + The small server it would run onto. This way they had full control of tomcat environnment and could give us support for application, including any problem that may arise in tomcat. On the other hand we are not allowed to deploy anything else on that server :) .
