Nah, that's way too snappy. How about:
11. FOR REASONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE FACT THAT WATER
FREEZES AT A HIGHER TEMPERATURE THAN ETHYL ALCOHOL, THE FACT THAT THE
PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, AND THE FACT (OR POSSIBLY
NON-FACT) THAT IN 1983 THE BRITISH FISHING INDUSTRY LANDED 412 MILLION
METRIC TONNES OF SPRATS, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PHYSICAL LAW (INLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO OHM'S LAW, SPECIAL RELATIVITY, GENERAL RELATIVITY AND SOD'S
LAW), ORDINARY LOGIC WITH OR WITHOUT THE AXIOM OF CHOICE, EXCEPT WHEN
OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING, WHICH MAY INCLUDE ELECTRONIC WRITING
WHERE PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
PARTIES WHO MAY OR MAY NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THIS LICENCE, OR
ANY OTHER LICENCE, OR ANY THING OTHER THAN A LICENCE, PROVIDE THE
PROGRAM "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR
IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR UNWRITTEN, IN RHYMING OR PLAIN VERSE, OR, INDEED,
IN PROSE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR OR INPARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY, SMELL AND PERFORMANCE OF THE
PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME
THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, MEDICAL COSTS, LEGAL COSTS,
PSYCHIATRIC TREATMENT, VALUE-ADDED OR OTHER SALES TAX, WHERE
APPLICABLE, REPAIR, INLUDED BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE REPLACEMENT OF ANY
FIXTURES OR FITTINGS, PIPES OR CONDUITS, WIRES, CABLES OR CONNECTORS,
OR CORRECTION. THIS LICENCE MAY CONTAINS TRACES OF NUT.
