Cover letter [ASIS-4 patch 0/5] Deep review of 'AS IS' disclaimers - part 4
This is the forth variant of disclaimer modifications.
Standard disclaimer:
this program is distributed in the hope that it will be useful but without any warranty without even the implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose
Modified disclaimer:
the/this program is licensed as is without any warranty of any kind whether express or implied
As with the previous 3, I don't see anything contradicting or substantially different.
In case we agree on that, I would amend the changelogs of the individual patches with a paragraph explaining our conclusion. Something along the lines:
The pattern deviates from the standard GPLv2 disclaimer, but the modifications do not expand beyond the standard disclaimer and the NO WARRANTY section of the GPLv2. So replacing the license notice including the modified disclaimer with the SPDX license identifier results in the same protections and conditions.
Feel free to suggest better wording or deeper explanation.
Thanks,
