Ummmm... admittedly I don't know nearly as much about Linux as most of 
the readers on this list, but I do know a bit about law.

Stating that only those who use the computer without authority or beyond 
their authority doesn't really cut it.  The reason is that it is 
necessary to look over the shoulder of those who "may" be abusing access 
in order to determine if they are indeed doing so.  

So, I'm afraid your disclaimer will have to be a bit more unsettling.  If 
anyone is really interested in this, I'll devote a little time to write 
up something that may be a bit more bullet-proof.
