Not a lawyer, but...

(1) https://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/54.1-402/ is a better link

Note 
"preparing documentation pursuant to subsection C of § 54.1-402 <http://law.lis.virginia.gov/vacode/54.1-402/> shall note the following"

So this disclaimer is necessary not for all maps, but only ones used in documentation
intended for a specific purposes.

So probably this disclaimer is not necessary on typical OSM based maps.
