You should probably do the short amount of paperwork required:

"If you think that the employer or school might have a claim, you can resolve the problem clearly by getting a copyright disclaimer signed by a suitably authorized officer of the company or school. (Your immediate boss or a professor is usually NOT authorized to sign such a disclaimer.)"
Stick everyone's mind at ease.
Neat project (which is why I care enough to get the ducks in a row).
- rlpb 16y agoA disclaimer doesn't quite make sense for me. Let me explain: I fully own True Blue Logic Ltd and am sole director. Both Synctus and ddar are projects owned by this company. Copyright on both Synctus and ddar are held by this company. Synctus is not open source. This ddar release is open source (GNU GPL 3) as of today. So my company retains copyright but licenses ddar to the public under the terms of the GNU GPL 3. Thus there is no disclaimer to sign, since my company still claims copyright. Of course, now that ddar is released under the GPL, it will be forever (in the same manner as any other open source project). None of this affects Synctus, which is not open source. If anyone contributes code to ddar, those contributions would not be permitted to be used in Synctus without a further licence from the contributor. I've considered this carefully and decided that this won't be a problem for me.

A disclaimer isn't needed now that it's clear in the COPYING file that TBL Ltd (the copyright holder) is the one publishing it. Thanks for clearing the air.
