Try this rewrite (gets rid of a legal note)

<t>A DNSBL without DNSBL users does not
block (or otherwise impair) email or any other Internet service.
A DNSBL user voluntarily uses the DNSBL data to guide their decisions,
and the user therefore MUST assume responsibility for the
consequences.</t>

<t>DNSBL operators are expressing an opinion through the
publication of a DNSBL.  However,
it is through abiding by the guidelines set forth in this BCP that
the operators of a DNSBL may gain the trust of their users.</t>
