Not a lawyer, but...

(1) https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/54.1-402/ is a better link

Note 
"preparing documentation pursuant to subsection C of § 54.1-402 
 shall note the following"

So this disclaimer is necessary not for all maps, but only ones used in 
documentation
intended for a specific purposes.

So probably this disclaimer is not necessary on typical OSM based maps.

[OSM-legal-talk] Disclaimer regarding data in Virginia (US)?

[Matthew Woehlke]

OSM surely incorporates data in Virginia which was not prepared by 
suitably licensed entities (per 
https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/title54.1/chapter4/section54.1-402/).


According to Virginia law, OSM must therefore display the following notice:


Any determination of topography or contours, or any depiction of
physical improvements, property lines or boundaries is for general
information only and shall not be used for the design, modification,
or construction of improvements to real property or for flood plain
determination.
Is this notice already displayed somewhere? If not, where should it be 
displayed?


(Note: I came across this while considering PWC GIS data for import;
