Software liability
the reason you can't just say this is this. Let's say a distro includes some software that the distributor didn't make. This is quite normal. So it turns out that when you run this program and your computers time wraps around (not that this would happen but this is just a scenario) it corrupts data on the hard drive. Now, since the distributor did not make the software how can they be blamed? I guess you could, but this would hinder a LOT of companies from being able to sell their distros. I dunno, thats just my 2 cents.
