One thing about a licence is that you can and should include a NO WARRANTY clause. This can shield you from nuisance lawsuits.


A no warranty clause isn't going to protect you from a nuisance shakedown. Slapping no warranty onto something doesn't stop someone from bringing a frivolous lawsuit against you, it jsut makes it easier to defend. If it's a frivolous lawsuit then it won't hold out in court anyway, but by that point you've already had to defend yourself against it, which is where all the hassle is.
