Intellectual Property Statement

It is noted that some/much of the language material relied upon in compiling this language article should properly be considered the intellectual and cultural property of those Djabugay people's who first gave the material to be documented and recorded.

It is also recognised and noted that within local Aboriginal economies of knowledge great store is placed on the act of performing or presenting knowledge, and it is in fact by performing or presenting knowledge (or some version of it), that the ownership of the knowledge is established. The more frequently and effectively particular words, stories, or songs are performed, the more they become stamped and owned by the performer, plus, the more the performances may 'purchase' obligatory relationships against which claims to real world benefits can be drawn/anticipated.

Recognising and acknowledging the above, it is not intented to rob original performers, tellers, language speakers of their 'ownership' of those names, words, or knowledge that may be used in this article.

Any use made of the names, words etc in this article can not be considered a genuine, authentic, authorised use, and should, rather, be regarded a caricature of the original, promotional in nature, leading readers towards the actual, authentic knowledge holders, potentially increasing the value of their intellectual and cultural property.
