And by using a "recognized" open source license, it will be easier for others to know what the license means. If you want to make this as free and open as possible, may I suggest the "zero clause" license? This is the software equivalent of "public domain" or "Creative Commons 'zero' (CC0)" in that you let anyone do what they want with it. There's no "copyright" statement on this, either.
