This license might have legal issues as well (someone might have pointed
this out), but usually a licenses includes a disclaimer where you are
not responsible for the use or misuse of the software.

This is why licenses (like the MIT X11) include paragraphs like this
(and every other open source license does):

        THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND,
        EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES
        OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND
        NONINFRINGEMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AUTHORS OR COPYRIGHT
        HOLDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, DAMAGES OR OTHER LIABILITY,
        WHETHER IN AN ACTION OF CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, ARISING
        FROM, OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SOFTWARE OR THE USE OR
        OTHER DEALINGS IN THE SOFTWARE.
        
I strongly suggest you use the MIT X11 license for that, because it is
just what you want.
