Clarify & expound on issue of warranty disclaimer

The existing paragraph on this issue was inadequate, since it punted
entirely to GPLv2§11 for dealing with critics' claims of
unenforceability. That left a mistaken impression of validity of such
claims.

The commit herein adds reference to CIGS, which likely permits GPL's
sort of warranty disclaimer in most jurisdictions, and also bolsters the
reference to the UCC earlier in the section.

However, given academic debate about the applicability of CIGS to
software licenses, this commit includes a footnote referencing the two
sides of that debate.

Tony Sebro and I co-drafted these changes together.

# TODOS

* Document [creating an EPUB](http://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1551/use-latex-to-produce-epub)
* Adapt the jQuery UI tooltip hack used for the overlib replacement with
  tex4ht to upstream tex4ht.
* Here's a cute idea: it would be great if copyleft.guide/LABEL from the
  LaTeX sources always went to that place on the HTML version on
  copyleft.org/guide/  I set a few of these up by hand already, but perhaps
  there's a way that tex4ht could dump an list of URL redirects automatically
  when it builds the HTML.
