Again, as a one-man-band, I (currently) have to research all ramifications
of the software development cycle.  Since the software I am developing is
some sort of "system" (not to use the word "platform"), I am considering
releasing the "system" part of it as open-source, but I don't want anybody
taking it, calling it theirs, selling it and suing me for infringing on
their newly-acquired copyright/patent or some other stupid legal acrobatics
trick that would ruin my business for my trying to be nice.

Agreed, but you never know with huge companies...
