Hi >> I am just wondering that how many types of Open Source License are there? >> and how can I decide which one is best for my purpose.
The choice of license depends upon your exact use case and what do you expect from furture users/contributors/your own application. opendawn[1] is a pretty useful web tool to help you decide about the type of license you would want. For a comparison among some common licenses, you can look at License Chooser[2] And finally, there's a pretty exhaustive blo post at [3] to let you become smarter in your choice.
