The significant difference is that the GPL does not place liability
anywhere; it only disclaims liability for the licensor. The same goes
for all other widely-used free software licenses.

The WTFPL goes beyond disclaimer to place liability on the licensee.
That's an unusual step, and I'm not convinced that it preserves the
recipient's freedom.
