No problem. Though I use the standard BSD license with disclaimer, I would 
have no problem offering a warranty. "If for any reason you are dissatisfied 
with the software, the purchase price paid to the author will be refunded in 
full."

Of course, I give my software away. But even commercial Open Source companies 
should be able to do at least that.

Liability is a different kettle of fish entirely.
