I checked with Bradley Kuhn this morning, and his response was:

"""
IANAL, but as I understand from Karen, the liability protection for
coding activities is roughly equivalent to that you'd get as an employee
of a company employed to code. You wouldn't get liability protection for
anything other than coding and writing documentation.
"""

Karen is one of the lawyers associated with the SFC.
