It probably is safe as you generated it yourself, but you may not want to 
accept it just yet.
If you look in /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf you'll see that "Internet Widgits Pty Ltd" 
is the default value of 0.organizationName_default and you may want to change 
that into something that is appropriate for you. You'll also see other 
XXX_default values which you may want to make more fitting for you.

If you generate a new certificate after changing those values, you'll see those 
values back into your certificate and that seems a more appropriate certificate 
to accept.

HTH,
