Gosh, Roger, there's only a hundred or so open source licenses to choose from - are you lazy? :)

The options are indeed broad, ranging from GPL to WTFPL (which reads as one might imagine from its acronym <g>), and a good many in between (AGPL, Apache, BSD, and others).

A popular choice of permissive license that's both GPL-compatible and works equally well for proprietary use is the MIT License, which FWIW Scott Raney had chosen for the MC IDE.

A discussion of it with its full text is here:

In short, it retains your copyright and provides disclaimer of liability, but presents no restrictions on use.
