Critics have occasionally questioned GPL's enforceability in some jurisdictions because its

disclaimer of warranties is impermissibly broad.  However,

critics

have generally failed to articulate specific precedents in their

jurisdictions that would directly indicate a problem with GPL's warranty

disclaimer.  Meanwhile,
