-Note: This license label is deprecated, so don't use it for new packages.
-Unfortunately, "as-is" has been (ab)used also for non-free software and
-you cannot rely on it. Please check the upstream license instead.
-
-"as-is" in its originally intended sense is now covered by the OSI-approved
-"HPND" (Historical Permission Notice and Disclaimer).
