All that said, I do have one small request for Michael. I haven't seen the manual for the MP3Beamer so I don't know how you credit to the open source projects that you use. But please do keep in mind that since so many open source developers are volunteers, their *only* reward consists of public recognition for their contributions. I'd be happy to have you use an open source project to which I've contributed as long as you simply acknowledge that project in your documentation.
In that case, be sure to use a license that correctly states your requirements. The GPL is not such a license (unless, of course, you consider your copyright statement to be adequate notice) [1]. By releasing code under the GPL, you're _explicitly_ saying that the copyright notice is _all_ the credit you require. You can't then change your mind and add further restrictions in a random mailing list post.
The old 4 clause BSD license, with the commonly known "obnoxious advertising clause", seems to fit the bill for the kind of license you're looking for. It's important to note that this license is not GPL compatible, so you can't contribute code to GPL projects such as Slimserver under it.
