Even so the GPL is too vague. I suspect as a small development if it
went to court I could argue that there was no intent to deliberately
violate the licence, I intended to benefit society, and due to the
vagueness of the licence the general consensus/common sense would
hold true. However I won't be releasing the software under GPL (yet)
because of the potential risk.
There is no risk. You, as the copyright holder, are the only person who
could sue for a violation of the license. Putting software under the
GPL can only be a problem if it contains non-original elements that
have a license that prohibits this. You do not have to honour the GPL,
it's those who receive it who have to abide by it.
