I'd strongly recommend to think about some code-signing which would
best be included in the source code but could as well be distributed
as separate signature files. Including a note in your licence (whatever
it will turn out to be) this will not only help to spot and reject
unauthorized and dubious attempts to "improve" your code but
will also deter those who might call your code "crap" without having
seen the "real thing".

Good luck.
