I missed the "no warranty" bit. Is it really necessary? If yes, why? Is it some required legal waiver or just a kind way of saying "don't blame us if something went wrong and you lose your work"? Personally I find that kind of stuff really unnecessary. It's like making an excuse in advance: "look, it may fail, don't blame us". If someone wants to sue you I don't think the "no warranty" claim will make any difference. But seriously, who would do that? I've been working with software for 20 years, I've lost count of the times I've lost work because software failed, crashed or froze. I may or may not cursed the software and its makers when that happened, but never thought about suing the makers for the half hour of work I lost because I forgot to hit CTRL+S (or CTRL+E :-p) That being said, GIMP is probably the most stable software I use, which makes that remark even more unnecessary.
