No, because it does not allow you to apply a "no warranty" disclaimer. 
If you do apply such a disclaimer, then you are in violation of 
Adobe's license terms.

Adobe should create a new license which include a "no warranty" "no 
liability" statements (to protect Adobe) but which places no 
requirements on redistributors other than that they preserve Adobe's 
license statement.
