Your best bet would be to get one that some other person (lawyer) has already made up.

It would prevent you from liability, let the code be used to support any project, force distributions of the source to have the copyright license, and prevent anyone from selling a modified version of the base code (unless this modified code is also LGPL and therefore the source is availible etc). It is a pretty good license for libraries as it doesn't restrict commecial use of the libraries but it does restrict commercial modification of the libraries. http://www.opensource.org/licenses/lgpl-license.php I'm sure there are others, but that is a popular one.
