I once proposed a disclaimer something like this:

"This product contains code developed by the University of California
at Berkeley.  This information should in no way be construed as an
endorsement of this product by the University of California at Berkeley."

My contact at Berkeley said not to worry about it, but I suggest that
such wording may be necessary to prevent liability in court.  -David-
