I agree with Pam. This license seems like something that no one other 
than a licensor in Germany would want to use, as other jurisdictions 
allow broader disclaimers and IIRC, the liability/warranty required 
under German law would apply in Germany despite a broader disclaimer. 
But narrow special purpose licenses do not in and of themselves violate OSD.
