Lasers or Longbows? A Paradox of Military Technology

The license terms of the article seem contradictory in a way. When I download the PDF it includes an appendix stating:

> Copyright of Full Text rests with the original copyright owner and, except as permitted under the Copyright Act 1968, copying this copyright material is prohibited without the permission of the owner or its exclusive licensee or agent or by way of a license from Copyright Agency Limited. For information about such licences contact Copyright Agency Limited on (02) 93947600 (ph) or (02) 93947601 (fax)

However, in the margins of the whole text and also on the appendix page'S margin it says:

> Available under a Creative Commons Attribution Licence

Does this already count as a license from Copyright Agency Limited? What does the law say about such potentially conflicting terms?

Thats odd, I can't see any reference to Creative Commons in my copy. The copyright rests with the Australian Defence Force Journal and is administered by Copyright Agency Ltd as far as I understand.

First I clicked on "View PDF". Then on the PDF page I clicked on the Download button in the upper right corner. This gives me a PDF with the Creative Commons notice in the left margin of every page.
