Ok. Lets look closely at this.

In most of those cases, I cannot see any valid reason for
anybody (except 
perhaps myself) to sue the company for those actions.
Without knowing 
exactly what sort of things the company could be liable for
based on my 
actions, and thus what type of liability I am indemifying
them from, I 
cannot make any sort of freeness judment on this part of the
licence.

Could somebody give examples of what sort of liabilty for
them could result 
from my perfroming the listed actions?
