I can see the merits in your position and I'll admit my ignorance in this area but it seems to me you are wrong.

For anyone who wishes the source is available to build. Volunteers to this project are encouraged to contribute via the development environment outlined in the manual.

How does this have any bearing on whether this is a GPL project? The source is there to contribute to the project or build as you wish. There is no requirement in the GPL that folks have their hand held through building

No secrecy exists here, the source is well documented and other groups have used the basic project in endeavors of there own without hand holding or knowing any secret handshake or secret code.

I'm not even planning to contribute to new features for now, only a humble perspective of tweaking the app or finding simple bug fixes, or simply sometimes just getting curious

I look forward to seeing and testing your future contributions.
