That depends on the contents of the disclaimer. > The only question is the actual license of the patch.

The presence of the disclaimer could suggest that the person sending the patch has not been authorized by the corporation to submit it for inclusion in Debian (or any open-source project). Not requiring a contributor license agreement means we sometimes accept patches from a person who is not in a legal position to grant us a copyright license on the submitted work. This is a risk the project is willing to take to simplify or sometimes even enable collaboration. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-legal-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
