The absolute least restrictive is putting them in public domain. IIRC,
that basically means that you disclaim any copyright. According to the
Creative Commons website, this might be invalid outside of the U.S.
A little more restrictive would be one of the Creative Commons licenses.
You can see a very simple, nice overview by going to
http://creativecommons.org and selecting "License your work" in the
upper right corner (on the green titlebar).
One other thing to note: I think I recognized some of the slides in your
talk from some of the other talks. If someone copies some work out of
another talk, they need to be careful claiming (or disclaiming)
copyright (unless that other work is public domain). If the other work
is under creative commons or similar license, it might allow for copying
as well (but might mandate that credit be given).
David Joyner seems to be our resident expert on copyright, though, so
you probably ought to trust his comments more than mine :).
