I fully agree with it when it comes to the product being under
a copyleft license, but I do not understand why we particularly want
people to know it is distributed with "absolutely no warranty".

AFAIK all the software I've ever seen came with "absolutely no
warranty".  That applies to proprietary software just as much as
Free Software.  So what do we have to gain by promoting this
"characteristic" of Emacs?

That's a part of the argument I do not understand and would like to
see developed.

And what does "absolutely no warranty" have to do with the FSF and
the GPL?
