The problem that I see (my eyes are a little lawyer-ish - IANAL) is the "best of the Licensor's knowledge after reasonable inquiry" would make an potential argumentative point and drag people through litigation.

I think you sum it up with: "Granted that "reasonable" is one of those words that make lawyers rich". Why leave the hole open? Why risk that an inferior-court judge is going to rest his decision on that point? Then appeals happen etc etc etc. In cases I have read, stranger things have happened (albeit famous cases of judicial ineptitude ;)
