   Mmm, is this so different than "use at your own risk"?
   Is that really part of the *license*. It seems it is a *disclaimer*
   since it just says "you should not do it"...
   It does not say "we forbid you to do it".

Yes it does.  YOU MUST NOT USE is very clear that you are not to use
it.  There is no "should" about it.
