This is an open source project that you're not obligated to use nor did you pay for it. Who is it endangering?
The license also makes it clear that the authors aren't liable for any damages.

The license disclaims liability but that doesn't mean the author cannot ever be held liable. Ultimately, who is liable is up to a court to decide.

None. That is how RedHat makes money.
Probably more of lack of explicit liability in the license.
Pretty sure the all caps text on the bottom of most open source licenses out there makes it clear
every OSS license I've ever seen is "use at your own risk" essentially. That's how this whole system works.
