There was lots of licenses to choose from in 2002 as well. Sticking
with recognized licenses is a good idea if you are not a lawyer. I
prefer the FreeBSD License myself. In the spirit of non-copyleft free
software, I personally think the more important thing is getting as
many people as possible using your code, not telling people what to do
with it.
