"We did a lot of work, therefore we should get more influence than that stated in our GPL on the projects which use some of our code."

Nope, Free Software doesn't work like that. Shame on you.

If you're not happy with just being listed in the CREDITS file (or equivalent), then don't release code under the GPL. Find a licence with an advertising clause rather than working outside the licence you choose.

I really *really* want an LWN killfile. It only needs one name in it so
far (hm, actually, two, but we haven't seen much of `genius' lately, touch
wood).
