Warranty issue in CC licenses

Dan Bricklin raises an interesting issue with the Creative Commons licenses.
The Creative Commons licenses say, in effect, "After checking, I guarantee no one will sue you if you copy my work, with some restrictions". What many casual webloggers really want to say is "I guarantee I won't sue you if you copy my work, with some restrictions".
This had completely escaped my attention (which illustrates how difficult it is to write IP licenses).
