WRT licenses, I too think BSD would be a good choice for obvious reasons (permissive, short/simple, widely used, unversioned, compatible to most other licenses). That is, if we need a license at all. This licensing stuff always gets in the way, I wish there was a way we could avoid it.
I agree that it can be a bit dull, but "this licensing stuff" is what has given all this wonderful software and it's usually worth getting it right. Some very clever people had quite a bit of foresight when they designed (e.g.) the GPL, in my opinion. Pete.
