The wording "as is" is directly copied from GPLv2, so adds no additional disclaimer. My understanding is that "expressly disclaimed" means the same thing as disclaiming a specific warranty by name, so this variant doesn't actually legally do anything different than the standard disclaimer notice, since the implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose were already disclaimed by name. Again, I'll review positively, but suggest waiting for at least one lawyer to review. Allison
