I usually use the MIT/X11/BSD license.  I can see some situations
where I might have preferred a copyleft license.  However, the BSD
license is simple enough that I can understand it (I think), and I
don't need to worry about which libraries I link with, as long as I
don't distribute binaries (which is far too cumbersome anyway).

PS. Sorry for the blank mail.  I slipped on the send button.
