I've started to go through the source and i'm really impressed.
So before i got around to do some source/functinos borrowing i'd ust ask your persmission...
A few functions, like the one for redirecting is just brilliant, and i'm thinking of using the code in my own projects (with a copynotic to pun of course) but since it's not gonna be a public scripts of that kind i wonder what the gpl sez about it.
Thoughts, comments on my Q?
The GPL only applies if you release the code.
Ok.
If the scripts are released at somepoint, they will be fully available (they're php-script, doh! 
...
It's some hybrid clan/squad match booking/calendar-thing-stuffy project
After I wrote that, I actually hesitated for a second, but then I looked it up and what I said was correct. The GPL FAQ states:
Does the GPL require that source code of modified versions be posted to the public?
The GPL does not require you to release your modified version. You are free to make modifications and use them privately, without ever releasing them. This applies to organizations (including companies), too; an organization can make a modified version and use it internally without ever releasing it outside the organization.
But if you release the modified version to the public in some way, the GPL requires you to make the modified source code available to the program's users, under the GPL.
Thus, the GPL gives permission to release the modified program in certain ways, and not in other ways; but the decision of whether to release it is up to you.
Or instead of making one, you can just support the open source community and use some of the current ones out there:
TUTOS: http://sourceforge.net/projects/tutos/
phpChrystal: http://sourceforge.net/projects/phpchrystal/
ClanWarPlanner: http://sourceforge.net/projects/cwplaner/

What r those?
Yes i could have, but the problem with there are they don't easily fit into the existing sitedesign.
I'm writing my scripts to be extremely configurable with mostly an object-driven output mechanism that allows you to place, let's say the next 5 booked matches in a small sidebar blow you menu for instance, iwthout the requirements to use the full packages own pages etc.
Of course i will have a webbased administration, but with the option to print each section out in your own page where you want it...
Plus i learn something new, something i havent done yet...
Make: Yeah, what if I had just decided to use phpBB or some other board? We are here to reinvent the wheel, remember? :)
Heh, what Kennel said
No, really.
Here http://fh.nonet.org/fh/ [site under development] i just installed a shoutbox in the lower-left box.
It didn't fit "out-of-the-box" and now, after a few hours of tweaking, src-hacking and styling, it looks pretty good (oh, yeah, IE is a pain in the butt) but imagine how long time it would take to try and hack a -large- "whole" package into an existing layout.
The shoutbox is basiclly an iframe in an iframe...
I usually make my own script to be modulus so you just can "object" them into place
