I must be missing something truly profound here...
In case of non-open-source licenses, there might be an issue. Most free software licenses I know waive (is that the correct word here?) liability claims anyway.

Although I have no idea why you couldn't put that (not fit for any purpose, even if you think so) in your commercial license on ovi, too.
