Gosh, Roger, there's only a hundred or so open source licenses to choose
from - are you lazy? :)
The options are indeed broad, ranging from GPL to WTFPL (which reads as
one might imagine from its acronym <g>), and a good many in between
(AGPL, Apache, BSD, and others).
A popular choice of permissive license that's both GPL-compatible and
works equally well for proprietary use is the MIT License, which FWIW
Scott Raney had chosen for the MC IDE.
A discussion of it with its full text is here:

In short, it retains your copyright and provides disclaimer of
liability, but presents no restrictions on use.
