Special booster: New product liability in EU for software. If your software is in any way related to commercial activity (eg. consulting or having been created as part of paid work), yproduct liability kicks in.

Best but not 100% secure way to protect yourself is to donate the software to a well meaning non profit. If you control the non-profit, the barrier might not hold, if you don't control it, it's not your software anymore.

Update: Thinking of it: AGPL might at least offer some protection as many integrators shy away from using software with this license.
