It is highly likely it would get ignored if you do not file a
disclaimer. 

The problem comes down to that of copyright. If you put your fix out
there, and another person wrote essentially the same patch but had read
your code, it could be claimed they were tainted by reading your code.
This could call into question the true ownership of the finally accepted
code. 

So, when we adhere to best practises with regard to copyright and
software licenses, it is better to ignore a chunk of code than to get
hammered on it later.
