Ah, ok.
b) bad style to leave out those other parts for questions like thisI personally think that the copyright notice is important to quote too, as we are talking about a specific work, rather than about a license in a vacuum. Moreover, the disclaimer is typically "attached" to the license, and is part of the legal text that grants the permissions we need. In some licenses, it is even more entwined with the rest of the legal text. I think the disclaimer should be fully quoted too.
