> So many times I've had someone come in all butthurt and say 'I know it was in the contract, but I didn't think they'd actually enforce it'.

or the converse situation "I know I used liberal license but I'm still going to raise hell if people actually do what the license allows"

No, that's not the converse. The license says exactly what it means, which is:

THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,

Period. Calling it a 'liberal license' doesn't mean what you think it means.
