Mostly.

I still wish that there would be no liability until money changes hands between the parties.

According to your link, liability still may exist if the FOSS project is a "commercial beneficiary." Does this mean that there could be liability even if the third party doesn't pay for it, just because others do?

My understanding, tempered quite a bit from LWN comments on its coverage of the CRA, is that without money transferring for the parties involved, there is no liability.

I suspect you're in the US (I think I saw a US location in your Twitter bio before the login page replaced it), the rules for Europe are different and applying an American viewpoint on how business relationships occur gives an inaccurate perception of things.
