Yes, there's nothing wrong with making a small tweak for yourself.

looks closer to code snippets. i dont know about you, but i myself would just use any permissive licence or even make it public domain and leave it at that. gpl's very text looks lengthier than the actual code. here's what the gnu folks say on similar situations
gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html [gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html]

The rule of thumb I use is to gpl any code no matter what size if I want to share it. Them, I'm protected from someone claiming my code as their own and making a profit on it that I'll never see.

There's something called common sense: the size matters!

Tomorrow I'll implement an abstract class to manage binary trees, I'll GPL it so nobody can claim it to make profit on binary trees. Come on...
