Could have should have. Let's not forget the context here. Someone has
written a useful piece of software *in his free time* for *free* which
you and others to use *if you want to*, if not: don't use it.

If he doesn't feel like plastering legal warnings over his webpage
that's really really his business. I don't think anyone's in a
position to feel self-justified in speculations about his intent.

I don't mean to single you out but this sort of outlook is why he's
getting hate E-Mail in the first place.

Let us recall the ancient proverb: Life sucks, get a helmet.
