You can host all your code on an OSS-only repository including the
downloading build code: that's perfectly fine, and you can use any
license on your own code.

Given your stated values, I'd choose either the Apache 2.0 license or
the BSD 3-clause license, depending on whether you care about GPLv2
compatibility or not.
