MIT, or revised BSD license would be great indeed IMHO, and I think that
it would be less controversial (easier for people to understand their
rights which are stated in a few simple legal-language statements),
while also allowing a great deal of freedom (this can make the
difference between being able to use the product in an embedded system
or not, for instance, as I often saw BSD used instead of Linux for
licencing terms reasons, considering IP protection)...

Of course am no authority whatsoever on this matter, but my two cents
based on a few GPL vs BSD experiences over time makes be believe it's a
great idea.
