So why do companies come up with this stuff? When a company needs a public facing legal contract why don't they say 'we're covered by such-and-such license with the following exceptions'? Like the GPL. Or the Common Economic Protocols. It'd sure save a lot of time.
Because lawyers are blood sucking leeches. People do not ever want to take responsibility and always need to blame someone else for their fsck ups. Americans love to sue people and companies, and lawyers love to do it. Companies and individuals always find they need to protect themselves from the irresponsible, naive, and idiotic people out there that feel the constant need to place blame elsewhere, and seek unjust compensation because of it.
