>lad the cat already got decapitated that's enough proof
From my experience with legal bullshit it isn't.

>and who are you going to press charges against in a free software project?
No, since there's a physical product tied to this then it's the people who sold the product who didn't properly do their job.

>he license is going to say it's "provided as-is and no warranties are made for the software"
Yes, to the seller, and the seller has to apply the minimum safety measures that protectionism apply, which they still try to go around by adding shit like "don't let you pet unsupervised around the automated tool".

>just make a comparable competitor with feature parity
Or just let the market be free ?

>does the butcher just give you their meat for free up front and only ask you give them money if you feel like it?
I've seen some do it, restaurants too, they're usually located in none diverse places.
Sadly in my locality it's diverse enough for them to not do that, the farmer does trust me and doesn't mind if I way next week to pay them.
In such exchange of physical good I would put a sign displaying the minimum cost of manufacturing so that people could have an idea of the efforts it needed to make X.

>the difference between a donation and a buy
I'm not denying the legal definition of that. I'm speaking of the moral implications. Either way you retribute someone's efforts/finance someone's life.
