Great :)
Are you speaking of the *modified* BSD license? I find the MIT
license to be to permissive, however the modified BSD license I am
fine with. I think I would prefer to use the LGPL though.
The 3-clause BSDL, yes. The advertising clause has all sorts of
issues. As far as I know, NetBSD is the only project still using the
4-clause license.
Will the GNU FDL be fine for documentation?
I haven't given much thought to documentation licensing. The GFDL
has some issues that make it non-Free (the whole invariant sections
thing, for example). I tend to regard any documentation I write as
being effectively PD, but it's up to you. Unlike code, documentation
licenses are unlikely to affect other things very much. The only
slight confusion might come from things like gsdoc-generated
documentation; I'm not sure what the legal issues are of mixing two
licenses in the same file (the GFDL is not LGPL compatible, for
example)...
