Gosh :-)

Maybe. But I don't dare to express an opinion on that. I'm not a layer
and I strictly adhere to the 'sutor non ultra crepidam' principle.

If we talk about *pure opinions* (for what they are worth) I'd like
"subject to" or "subject to the terms of". And I expressed a doubt
about "distributed" in diebus illis (doesn't Latin sound great when
talking about laws? :-))

That said, I'll leave to law experts the final answer. What matters to
me is that we don't have to hard-code that text everywhere, at least
not in documentation files. Rene, could you confirm that this will be
managed with server-side includes in the future?
