Thanks for the input for all of you -- especially for the links, Xiaofan and
Marc.

Yes, I did not think it over that GPL let's you sell the product (like linux
distros), so thanks for the enlightening Isaac. I think those kind of
licences are only for the fame :-) I would not mind if someone seeing my
work for free, but if they get money for that makes me feel that is a bit
unfair.

Anyway, why I mentioned GPL is that it also protects the work if there are
derivatives of it so I might be able to close those issues out you mentioned
Alan. I know it is still not like a patent where you virtually define the
functionality instead of the actual circuit, but that was not my intention
anyway. I just wanted to close out the "Money for Nothing" people :-)
