I currently use "this project" for what it being licensed and "the 
project" for the licensor. If I can come up with an elegant way of 
extracting clearer definitions for those two terms from the "Copyright 
Notice" in the same way I'm currently already doing it with the 
"Contact Address" then I'll change both these terms accordingly.

What about the text of the disclaimer? Is there a version that works 
well/best in the various jurisdictions?
