I've heard a lot of praise for the BSD license. Might be worth looking
in to. I don't have a definitive reference but here's the URL for a
piece of source code associated with the FreeBSD project that has the
license at the top:

http://minnie.cs.adfa.edu.au/FreeBSD-srctree/newsrc/miscfs/specfs/spec_vnops.c.html

It's a pretty much "use this for whatever you want, with appropriate
disclaimers" license.
