Brief description of your issue

When installing Microsoft official tools, like Terminal, Visual Studio, or Microsoft Edge, there should not be a warning that "Microsoft is not responsible for third party packages" because it is irrelevant in misleading.

Steps to reproduce

winget install visualstudio.community

Expected behavior

No warning, or a modified one to be more relevant e.g. "This install method is not officially supported by Microsoft"

Actual behavior

Found Visual Studio Community [Microsoft.VisualStudio.Community]
This application is licensed to you by its owner.
Microsoft is not responsible for, nor does it grant any licenses to, third-party packages.
...

Environment

[winget --info]
Windows Package Manager v0.1.41331 Preview

Windows: Windows.Desktop v10.0.19041.84
Package: Microsoft.DesktopAppInstaller v1.0.41331.0

@retnikt we're close to the point where we support verified developers in the winget-pkgs repository. Once this has been fully implemented, we can take a look at removing the confusing warning.

The sentence itself also does not have the best grammar. A better way to write it would be something like "Microsoft is not responsible for and grants no licenses to third-party packages," or "Microsoft is not responsible for third-party packages and does it grant any licenses to them."
