I think this is Alex's pet subject - so you should get an excellent
answer if he is free.
The first question is what are you trying to achieve?
Do you care if other people incorporate your software into a bigger
package and don't tell any one?
Would you want a mention in the credits of derivative works?
Would you like to get paid, if they are making money out of your work?
Would you like to stop them making money out of your work?
Would you like to retain an option to sell your work commercially at a
later date?
