Limitation of Liability in Creative Commons

Rick Stafford has a new post comparing Creative Commons to the GNU license. Stafford notes software licensed using Creative Commons does not have any clause limiting liability. From the post:

The issue of liability is not present in the creative commons license – potentially this means that if OER software damaged an end users computer in any way, then the provider of the software could be liable for damage.
