Under no circumstances shall the author of this software, nor his pet cat 'Mr.Whiskers', be held legally, financially or morally liable for any claim of damages or liability resulting from the use of, abstinence from, ritualistic worshiping of, or illegal pirating of this software. This includes, but is not limited to, lost profits, stolen data, bankruptcy, autonomous homicidal cyborgs or man-eating miniature pony attacks.
Use at your own risk! This software comes with no guarantees of fitness for any purpose, so do not use it for the back-end of your fortune 500 business without at least hiring me first.
