Some of you may have seen this already -- from Ben Balter (of GitHub):
http://choosealicense.com/
We may want to consider linking to it from OSI's FAQ, but it would be
great to get people's opinions first.
Ben's announcement is below:

Launched a small resource today, choosealicense.com to help software
developers make the decision of which license to use when releasing
software.
The site itself is open source and I'd love any feedback / pull
requests you may have. To make the process even easier, there's also
now a license picker when creating a new repository on GitHub.com
which will automatically add the license to the project.
* The Site: http://choosealicense.com

Cheers and open source,
