Oh come *on*.  You read the two page GPL - with it's easy-to-understand
pre-amble - you make sure you don't violate it - and you're done. 

The "Why doesn't your game work on my Voodoo-1" questions are *much* scarier
because each one has to be answered slowly and painfully and no two are
ever quite the same - the annoying idiots have *MUCH* more time on their
hands than you do!
