Statement
FAQ A.9.13-A.9.16 and A.9.19: the PuTTY team will not sign an agreement indemnifying users against security problems, will not sign a document accepting any legal or financial liability, is generally unwilling to enter into individual agreements with users, and does not respond in full to generic vendor questionnaires because it is not a software vendor. The published licence is the only licence instrument available. (FAQ undated; as published on 2026-09-27)
