Isn't there a certain risk involved if you are not strict when checking whether people follow the GPL or not? Of course you are right about the addition of a couple of columns in the SQL tables not being of great use to us other users. Nonetheless I think that even in such a case the GPL should be followed and the code released to the public. Otherwise we enter a legal greyzone in which it becomes hard to distinguish which modifications are "major" and which aren't.

There is no legal gray zone, GPL applies in any case, you must *ALWAYS* give your code back to FUD, it's just that if it's insignificant modification or useless to us we won't ask for it, but if anyone else asks for it, then no matter how insignificant modification is it must be given.
