I know you said "inquire within" but I hope that this is a short,
general-interest question with perhaps a one-word answer. (Except I
don't think I've ever seen Phil give anything approximating a one-word
answer grin).

What does "exempt" mean in this context? Does it mean that the
provisions do not apply at all if the information is transmitted by
amateur radio? I'm assuming that this is the case, since it's not
unusual for material that we relay to appear in news articles.
