Only the one thing they asked for in exchange for their code: P99's commits.

You simply do not understand the purpose of these licenses. They are not explicitly demanding other peoples code, you are taking the sentence too literally.
If you use open source code under a GPL3 license and re-distribute it for free, giving the proper credit to the creators, you will NEVER be sued. Period.
The reason for this license is to discourage people from taking the code, claiming it as their own, and using it in a product that makes money.
If you want to make money off of an open source project, the GPL3 license comes into play to keep you honest by showing you are using their code, and allowing other people to use it.
