If you're having trouble understanding the GPL and its implications,
another option is to release your scripts under a simpler license that
is GPL-compatible such as the Modified BSD or MIT licenses. Even if
the entire work as a whole must be GPL, individual files and
components are only required to be GPL-compatible.
