Mark,
This should be read as the Regents of the UC through LBNL as long as 
they have gotten approval from DOE. This is language we're required to 
put in all copyright's due to the fact that the lab is owned and 
operated by UC but for DOE. I can assure you that the copyright and 
licensing is clean, and if need be I can get you in touch with our IP 
person to follow up on this.
