Why be "wary"? Are you afraid of Lux et Veritas?

The GPL is a contract to make a contract. It's uneforceable in all 50 US 
states under their common law.

Don't fear the trolls. . . expend a little effort on your own behalf and 
Google for the terms {   "contract to make a contract"  Corbin   } then 
read the court decisions.

Hint: Skip the above step if you are a true blue aficionado of the GPL 
as you may well come away disillusioned.
