Hi Daniel,
This sentence doesn't refer to a copyright license, it just states that
the code hasn't been vetted by an official organization for use in
nuclear facilities. With this statement the author waives any
responsibility, but he doesn't restrict the field of use.
This has already been discussed on debian-legal in the past, see:
