Software vendors generally do take responsibility for their software. :)
Part b) The first obligation to meet that responsibility is to fix the
software when the client reports a bug. If that fails then you can have a
refund of whatever you paid for it.
Part a) If you want people to assume some liability for how SOMEONE ELSE
USES their software, then you're going to have to pay an awful lot more
for your software.
