Hi again Guanghua,

GPL means basically that you allow other people to use and modify your
program and source code as long as whatever they do with it remains as well
under the GPL terms. It's on my opinion a very fair way of forcing
everything to stay open source:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html

To apply it, you just have to add some lines at the beginning of your code:

http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-howto.html

Look for example how i did it in AnalyzeSkeleton:

http://pacific.mpi-cbg.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=fiji.git;a=blob;f=src-plugins/AnalyzeSkeleton_/skeleton_analysis/AnalyzeSkeleton_.java;h=ce4bcb334d02205b381710718d12e7bdb80a5d0b;hb=HEAD#l19

Cheers!
