Can't argue against the rules.

If they want to copy, then fine, no one can stop them and if they're putting in the effort then I won't object.

Graal Ghetto doesn't seem like a threat, but okay.

I only recall being concerned about this years ago when I was still an immature prick. I have no idea why. I'm currently particularly fond of the Do What The **** You Want To Public License in the occasions where a license is useful (It's less obnoxious than other free software licenses).

Yes, credits. Serious business.

Words, words, words.
