AFAIK "makes no claim as to the usefulness, accuracy or completeness"is not a 
problem, whoever is doing imports must do this part anyway.

But what is the license of the data?
Maybe "Syracuse-Onondaga County Planning Agency has no objections"
is sufficient (I am not a lawyer) - but only  if that agency holds full rights 
to the dataset

As usual, legal-talk has greater chance to get response with someone with 
greater
legal knowledge.
