Of course they do. It’s not legal for you to distribute software that puts others in harm’s way. You’re not allowed to give poisoned food to homeless people as long as it’s free.

Of course they don't. It is Free OSS. And you implying that the maintainer put someone's life in harms way is simply not true. And the LICENSE says - no warranty or guarantee whatsoever... Use at your one risk. And the homeless people analogy makes very little sense, excuse me for being blunt. You are comparing software developers who use FOSS to homeless people??? You are comparing someone's FOSS project on github to poisoned food??? Are you for real??

Lol. That’s about as legal as saying you can’t be arrested because you’re a sovereign citizen.
