Chris and Dave are right, I'd strongly suggest using a less restrictive
license than GPL as you will likely increase your developer base.

I've changed my mind about using SourceForge, - I agree that Google
Code
is more suitable.
Please note:
- GPL is more widely used
- many people prefers it, for good reasons (too long to explain here)
- Google Code apparently puts severe restrictions on exporting code to
several countries.
All the best.
Similarly there are many good reasons for the long-term sustainability
of the project to embrace a more open license such as the BSD which
welcomes all participants - even if they have proprietary commercial
interest. We avoid GPL like the plague for exactly this reason.
