Steven, I see your point. If in doubt, I'd say we postpone
the decision until we've clarified that, okay? Until then,
we'll leave your macro under the GPL-with-exception license.

Alexandre, do you know what's the story with the lack of
disclaiming warranty by any chance? You seemed to be a lot
more informed about this matter than the rest of us. Any
luck?
