I did a double-take when I read that as well. I went and checked the license under rubygems, and sure enough, it's standard MIT with no warranties.

I'm willing to bet the people who published that have no idea what they just said, and probably don't understand what the MIT license contains.

They are talking about the rubygems.org package hosting service...

The license is not an accurate way to check if there is a warranty or not.

I'm not a lawyer, so maybe a silly question: is it possible the software license is different from service warranty? And I guess another thing that comes to mind is that maybe they didn't mean _legal_ warranty, but something that was used colloquially?
