I do use the X11 license.

(Copylefts tend to have "no additional restrictions" clauses, so
they have a tendency to be incompatible with each other.  It's another
reason I'm tending to like copylefts less these days: they lead to a lot
of license incompatibility, which results in code rewriting, which has
wasted lots of my time recently.)
