How to Keep to GPL Licence When Modifying a Script

Question

Hi,

In answering my own question, I came across this GreaseMonkey script that automatically converts currency values on a webpage. I would like to modify the script for my specific case, and I want to know how I should modify the script MetaData block to acknowledge the script's original author and respect the (letter and spirit of the) GPL. Can anyone advise?

Thanks, MagicAndi

I would contact the script's author. He may be willing to accept the change, and tell you how he wants to do attribution, and so the both of you can work out the source availability question.
