IN ADDITION, IN NO EVENT SHALL WCI, OR ITS PRINCIPALS, SHAREHOLDERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, CONTRACTORS, SUBSIDIARIES, OR PARENT ORGANIZATIONS, BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RELATING TO THE USE OF WINZIP, OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WCI." pretty scary that this makes them not liable for any crappy code. when people can get away with this kind of a license what intitiative do they have to protect the users?
