Wow. Great work!

Yes. My gut feeling from the small number of authors I have spoken to in
regards to this thread, is that they are positive to do the right thing and
just needs a bit of advice to get going.

During this thread I have been reading up on what advice is available to
authors and I find this page to be pretty good and short:

    https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html.

Still I fear that it could be to long and even that page could use a shorter
intro. Like bullet points with links to longer explaining text when necessary.

Yes. Lets see what your effort will bring.
