Most software licenses disclaim all responsibility for everything
except an unreadable CD, although these disclaimers have never been
thoroughly tested in court, as far as I know.
Most software licenses are not certified by the FAA.
Software that is certified by a regulatory organization typically is held to
a bit of a higher standard than the desktop software pushed out by Microsoft.
Another good example is FDA certified software in the Pharmacuetical
industry. They too have a CFR much like aviation does, and have rigorous
standards for testing and certification before any change can be made.
