Apps Make sure apps don't get rejected because of similarity

Hi,
I have created an application using Phonegap for a platform similar to Wordpress. The app allows users to login into their accounts, view personal messages, files, etc. Now, I want to publish the source code so that developers can grab their own copy of it and submit it to the PlayStore/Appstore. What I am worried about: Apps sometimes get rejected due to the fact that they are similar to another one. Is there any way to prevent this? A few colors and the site name will be changed by the site owners, but the core will stay the same. I saw many companies selling apps like I am planning to do and it doesn't seem like there are any problems. How can they make sure there is no rejection because of the similarity (in this case in my JS files)? Should I change the source code for every copy of it? (this might be pretty hard but I could change the order of my JS functions or rename some objects, randomly include some useless scripts etc) Or am I just way too worried about this?

Thanks for your help!
