do you know german law ? it's very different from us law, and nearly no us
licence will work as expected here. for example all "no warrenty" statements
have no effect, if you sell software to me (e.g. a cdrom).
we are no layers, and no experts of international software law.
let's use our common sence, i guess that will work much better.

i agree here. show everyone what we did, and encourage the author, to add a
sentence to his licence.
