In which case I would suggest that you never release any software 
whether under a licence or not. For example. the GPL has some very 
useful clauses in it, such as:

THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY 
APPLICABLE LAW...... WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A 
PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE 
OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU.  SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU 
ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

The EULA exists to protect the rights of the author who may or may not 
be the vendor. This includes the right to demand an income from your 
work, to demand that others do not exploit your work for their own gain, 
and to protect you from the mis-use of your work.

If you don't like a given EULA then don't buy or use the product. But 
the one thing that any software developer must do is to respect the 
whole concept of the EULA
