I guess my problem is that I committed code to a repo, and now other
people who have write access to the repo can change it so that I have
to fork that gpl3 repo just to get something that I can distribute.

I am hoping that it will work out because I trust my most immediate
contact, but still to be in a position of trust and not have the gpl3
backing me is not so good.

Well it serves me right for not attending the TLUG meetings I guess!
Thanks for helping me think this through and figure out where I am.
