When it comes to my open source code bases I have two rules.
- If you use it commercially at the very least donate what its worth to you.
- For non commercial, as long as I'm not held liable you are free to use 
it in any way you want. At the very least, get involved e.g. PR's, issues.
So liberal licenses like MIT, BSD. Which are compatible with e.g. BOOST.

Please do write up a skeleton for me on the wiki. I can pad it out. Will 
help to keep things consistent.
