Indemnification clause: is it acceptable? It smells as non-free...
Ok. Lets look closely at this.In most of those cases, I cannot see any valid reason for anybody (except perhaps myself) to sue the company for those actions. Without knowing exactly what sort of things the company could be liable for based on my actions, and thus what type of liability I am indemifying them from, I cannot make any sort of freeness judment on this part of the licence.
Could somebody give examples of what sort of liabilty for them could result from my perfroming the listed actions?
