ow, and btw. I don't think there _IS_ a problem with the comments about copyright and such. As by releasing the source, and announcing that on the site there is 'explicitly announced' that its free to use...
Actually there IS one, Whistler is right, because the GPL license is contaminative. If you write something that makes use of GPL code, or if parts of your code are already covered by the GPL, then you agree that ALL parts of your code be bound to the GPL too.

Don't know if you're aware of it but just these days in the Netherlands a software firm was put to trial for being in violation of the GNU GPL (the firm was using GPL code in a commercial project but wanted non disclosure for the source code of the project I think)
