Determine all polynomials with integral coefficients $P(x)$ such that if $a,b,c$ are the sides of a right-angled triangle, then $P(a), P(b), P(c)$ are also the sides of a right-angled triangle. (Sides of a triangle are necessarily positive. Note that it's not necessary for the order of sides to be preserved; if $c$ is the hypotenuse of the first triangle, it's not necessary that $P(c)$ is the hypotenuse of the second triangle, and similar with the others.)

Define $L(x) = x - \frac{x^2}{2}$ for every real number $x$. If $n$ is a positive integer, define $a_n$ by \[ a_n = L \Bigl( L \Bigl( L \Bigl( \cdots L \Bigl( \frac{17}{n} \Bigr) \cdots \Bigr) \Bigr) \Bigr), \] where there are $n$ iterations of $L$.
