Peter (or John)
[1]: phew, what a word. 'undisclaimed' ?! Maybe 'not disclaimed' or 'not
covered by any implicit or explicit disclaimer' would work better
More exactly, containing an explicit claim along the lines of 'This is
not an exercise. I really mean what it says, and I send it digitally
signed according to the law xxxx/200x, which I know to be valid under
the jurisdiction of ... and ....'. Because if it does not contain such a
statement I don't think it will hold water.
PS: I am not a lawyer, and VERY glad about that.
Still true.
