No warranties express or implied". Then section 1 of the GPL prohibits modifying or removing that notice, because it requires redistributors to "keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty". | |

A company might use the GPL to release something that it wants (for some reason) released as open source but at the same time prevent competitors from using it in proprietary software. | |
