Unfortunately it's not just saying "this book is free" - it's saying "you can't sue us if anything goes wrong, and here's why...". Sadly, in a country where you can sue people for millions of $ when you spill a cup of hot coffee over yourself, I rather suspect that such legal "protection" is an unfortunate necessity for PG.
You can, as you say, delete it all provided you leave no mention of PG in the book. |

All that wasted time, money and aggravation on the Cold War! And here all we had to do to defeat Communism was infiltrate the Bolshevicks with Project Gutenberg Lawyers.
