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.
