This is really a poor justification.

You can release the code known to be 'signed', and warn about the code 
for which you cannot guarantee. That will be a problem for others, 
eventually.

My own version, derivative code, and code with business logic which 
calls TYPO3 libraries.

TYPO3 4.* license is extremely limiting, while 6.0 (if I dont get wrong) 
let you link to typo3 libraries without sharing the code.
