You should use an existing license to avoid customer confusion.  Which one
you use depends on your goals: in particular, do you want to share your
code with others who will cooperate with you, or do you want to give
your code to anyone who wants to use it?

You may find my personal wizard at http://www.ccil.org/~cowan/floss
