This is one of the reasons why I'm so hesitant to release any of my stuff as open source. It all becomes so complicated.

That's a nice link. From your comment, I expected something else, although you did say READING material, not WIPING material lol. I should read more carefully. :)

read the site and it outlines them all quite clearly.... well if CD uses the GPLv2 license you should be pretty safe from people that would modify it and re-release it. there's the quote:
"GPLv2
The major change in v2 is the Liberty or Death Clause in Section 7. This states that if your software has some restriction where it violates GPL-covered property, then it cannot be distributed. For example, if a legal ruling states that they can only distribute the software in binary form, they cannot distribute it at all. The Linux kernel is covered by this license currently, and the license prevents others from just taking the source, modifying it and not contributing back to the community that founded it."
there seems to be no easy solution but then again I am new at this... as for my comment earlier I meant no offence

How exactly? Also, it's GPLv3'd...
Your quote is irrelevant to the matter at hand.
Archon of Fate:
I saw a few comments about people having the ability to modify CD (markham and sarge's) and upload it and charge for it themselves... apparently GPL2 protects against that... further more I did say I'm not an expert on this at all so my comments will not be as accurate as everyone else's.
just one of those loose ends I though I could help adress.
