>If you release under GPL, are you prepared to hire lawyers to enforce the license terms? It would be good if one can hire lawyers, but to be honest, most developers working on side projects are not (at least in my honest opinion).

>It's ok if someone isn't, but in that case, why bother? At least there is some sort of protection, and at least to scare away those who cannot afford the risk of being sued. Who knows, a lowly developer now might be able to turn things around and finally afford lawyers at his whim. Or even gain some backers.
