If you use my snippet, I want your game. If you don't agree, then you can't use my snippet. The purpose of the GPL is simply to prevent people who don't share from benefitting from people who do, which I think is pretty fair.
Sure, it's a disagreement on what fair sharing is, and honestly. I don't want your code if I can't meet the intent of the license. That's fine. It's just the reason I don't GPL my code. It feels like I am enacting restrictions on someone else that doesn't feel fair.
