Sorry about that. As far as I know, the suite of 2.0 licenses have not
actually been released. The new Music Sharing License is a variant of
the Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 2.0 license. Actually, as
I understand it, it's not really a _variant_ so much as just a
_renaming_ plus a bit of decoration. I think the business world uses
the term 'rebranding'.

However, I am not a lawyer, this is not legal advice, I don't speak
for Creative Commons. I dunno if there's significant variations or
not.

That's why I said the licenses were "half" out. One of the CC licenses
is available, but it's not called by its "normal" CC license name.

Anywho, the Music Sharing License is here:

        http://creativecommons.org/license/music

And you can see the License Deed here:

        http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/deed-music

And the legal code here:

        http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/2.0/legalcode            

Section 5 is the disclaimer of warranty and representation, as I
understand it.
