Some interesting replies, thanks for those.

Also an interesting point on code submissions of code developed at work.
Currently we develop on Linux, and much of our code will be released
under GPL, but I don't think that relevant here. The code I would like
to submit is based on boost code already, so is therefore subject to the
boost licence, so I think I am able to submit it. But I will check with
our legal bods on that one. I could, of course, send it from home under
a pseudonym as no-one would ever ever know.

As to the disclaimer, I have just re-read it, and as I read it (am I am
not a lawyer either, or I wouldn't be posting anyway!!), and it says the
mail is intended for the addressee only - since I am posting to a
mailing list I know the addressee is everyone attached to that list,
thereby giving implicit permission for it to be read by anyone on the
list, and also giving authorisation to all addressees to do as they want
with it. At least, that's my reading.

I just wish it wasn't there in the first place.
