Philipp,

Have you already consulted an attorney who told you that this new license
provision was necessary? I very strongly doubt that it's necessary on top
of the generic "no warranty" claims already present in the GPL. Otherwise,
there would be similar claims already attached to books, movies, and
commercial video games.

	Thanks
