Thats basically what my #6 was. eelamb had suggested we can use a GNU type license, but at best we could use parts of it as a boiler plate. If you not familiar with GNU, generally there lisenses ensure that anyone can use AND modify whats covered under a GNU lisense. I'm prefectly happy with GNU for anything I have ever done, but the general consensus I have seen so far on the forurm is the authors would prefer not to allow the modifcation of thier works.
