[TriZPUG] Open-Source Licenses - what do you like to use and why?

[Josh Johnson]

I'm on the cusp of releasing a bunch of software that we've developed 
over the past couple of years here in the blitzen group.

So I'm at the point where I'm choosing a license.

I consulted UNC's office of legal council about this, and they said that 
campus is cool with whatever license we decide to use, as long as it has 
a 'no implied warranty/non-liability' disclaimer. (not in those exact 
words, of course :D)

So, we've got a lot of options.

I'm just curious what folks in the area are using, have used in the 
past, and any personal anecdotes regarding how it went over time.

I'm indifferent as far as virality, restrictions on reuse, providing 
source, commercialization, etc.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts on any licensing strategies 
you've tried; starting a philosophical debate, not so much. :)

Thanks!
JJ
