Thanks Juan,

Can you recommend the most appropriate license to use?

I'm developing a game, primarily to help learn some new technologies/
approaches, I want to make it free (hosted on GAE), and would like
people to see the source code and contribute in a good way such as
constructive criticism and suggestions. I would like to protect myself
from being "ripped off" as much as possible

Thanks
