(This isn't totally germane for d-legal because I don't yet intend to package anything under such a license, but I might one day, and I suspect that someone here might know the answer.)
Is there any reason that warranty disclaimers ALWAYS LOOK LIKE THIS in copyright licenses? I can't find any legal precedent for requiring them to be like this, but the only one I remember seeing in a proper case is Peter Norvig's license[0] where clauses 1 and 2 take the place of the boilerplate disclaimer. (Alternately, are warranty disclaimers even necessary? I'm under the impression they are at least in the US, because of the implied warranties that are disclaimed by most licenses.)
