The 'automatic' copyright cited by most people is in fact, almost worthless for suing people

That depends on which country you are. In germany you have automatically full copyright (of couse enough to sue people because you cant get 'more' copyright - as far as I know) with the creation of a protectable work. You don't even need to write the 'copyright...' phrase - you have copyright with the creation.

In the US the default copyright basically just protects you from someone else claiming the work is theres. However, others can still copy it and make money just so long as they give you credit. Its kind of strange.

Yes, I am planning on selling the GUI (cross-platform this time) based on my OpenGL GUI. As far as I am concerned, SourceForge is restricted to licencing only code that is located on it (or am I wrong?).
I'm already in process of creating additional tools (Editors, etc), so that I could sell a fully fledged product that can compete with the rest out there.

Thanks for help everybody.
