It is the ONLY information in your whole message about the legal state of the content. I must assume it does apply to your patch.
My thinking was that it *cannot* apply, since the code is modifications to other code which was licenced under the GPL, hence the modifcations must also be licenced under the GPL.
Anyway, I hate these standard disclaimers as much as you do (maybe more). I will make it clear in future, so there is no doubt about the patches.
it may be confidential information I cannot and will not use it. It does not matter if you have any actual right to release GPLed stuff under such a restrictive "license".
That was my point - CSIRO has no claim, therefore the disclaimer *cannot* apply. Oh well - this wonderful brave new world of litigation we live in means we all have to be lawyers, whether we like it or not. Cheers! Murray... -- Murray Jensen, CSIRO Manufacturing & Infra. Tech.
