Hence you should say so.  You should take all the credit you deserve.
Although I would love to get my hands on code like this and see just
how all of this works, you should profit in some way from your work.
Whether this be financial or otherwise is up to you.  If you want to
call it something else (Like the Lukka editor) then that may be sufficient
for you.

The copywrite notice in GNU source tends to allow people to modify their version
as long as they keep the notice.  There are not often conflicting versions
around since they are continually modified by one source.  If you had
that in mind then the same would work here.
