The GPL non-warranty says that users can't sue me. It's a repudiation
of liability, to the extent possible in law. The JRE license says that
we (collectively) accept liability for problems with the *JRE*, not
with Fred.
"you agree to defend and indemnify Sun and its licensors from
and against any damages, costs, liabilities, settlement
amounts and/or expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred
in connection with any claim, lawsuit or action by any third
party that arises or results from the use or distribution of
any and all Programs and/or Software."
("Programs" = our stuff, "Software" = Sun stuff). That means that we
are responsible if there is any problems with the JRE -- even separate
from the use of Fred.

I demand that they do 6 reckless and stupid things before
breakfast.
