Neither!
The limitation of liability in almost all licenses these days do not grant
or deny any rights.
The right to sue (i.e., the right to hold the other end liable) is usually
dependant on local laws and a statement to the contrary in a license
agreement typically would have no effect.
Also note that in all fields of endeavour you don't have to be able to sue
the author to use the software (although there's a large amount of letter-
recycling between the phrases ;)
