I have no preference.

It's mainly about allowing people to use it if they want; 
modification/redistributions seems less significant in this case.  No 
license in fact means no permission.

All license are different in their affects.

A simple choice is W3C's (with the name W3C replaced by whoever is the 
copyright holder).  It is GPL-compatible.  Another choice is Apache v2.
