Unless it's "institutional work"...  I was in the same boat during my 
own Ph.D. studies, cherrypicking what to send for inclusion into FSF GCC 
and what not.

It just shows that the handling of the disclaimer is not at all
black-and-white and very much left to the whims of the contributor.

BTW, thanks for the detailed answer, I did read it entirely and it was 
very interesting.
