While this would be understandable if the document/code were indeed highly sensitive and confidential in nature, early reports are that Cyveillance acting for Qualcomm was effectively searching GitHub’s repositories looking for any Qualcomm copyright statements, but some of Qualcomm’s public code was also marked this way. The string was reported as, “Copyright (c) 2012 Qualcomm… All Rights Reserved. Qualcomm … Confidential and Proprietary.” It appears that at least some of this code includes reference/sample code from Qualcomm that is publicly available via other means or even part of Qualcomm’s Android kernel.
