Open Source License Checklists - Editiorial notes

Warranty disclaimer obligations

Explanation (Raw data)

The warranty disclaimer may be part of the license text itself or not.

Without any particular hint, it is assumed that the warranty disclaimer, if any, is part of the license text. In this case, all license obligations are implicitly assumed to relate to the warranty disclaimer as well, no separate obligation is listed, and the warranty disclaimer is not provided as template.

Sometimes, however, the warranty disclaimer is separated explicitly from the license text for example by adding it in an appendix of the license text or by marking the end of the license text and providing the text of the warranty disclaimer thereafter. A similar situation is created when the warranty disclaimer is at the end of the license text, but the license obligations do not refer to the entire text, but only to the license permissions and obligations and mention the warranty disclaimer separately. In these cases, provisioning of the warranty disclaimer is explicitly mentioned in a YOU MUST license obligation, and the warranty disclaimer is provided as a template.
