Hi Mario,

Since you wrote it in Java, you obviously didn't use any of the
OpenEXR C++ code.  That means you own it and can publish it (or not
publish it, your choice) under whatever license you like.

The BSD license has proven to be a good choice for image file format
libraries -- it's the license used by at least 3 successful ones
(libpng, libtiff and ILM OpenEXR).
