True, many such legalese-texts do not have any legal status 
or have been adopted in respective counties.
But sometimes we would like to add a localised comment 
before such sections, e.g:
"The following text does only have a legal status in its 
original language (see xxx.nn/license for more information)."
Or whatever, mileage may vary...
