That's why I like the New BSD license.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BSD_licenses#3-clause_license_.28.22New_BSD
_License.22.29 We use it for Zend Framework. It basically says "If you
distribute source, you must include this disclaimer, if you distribute
binaries, you must include this disclaimer; don't blame us if things
blow up and we don't endorse your work". That, to me, defines the
spirit of open source.

It is hard to fully understand the licenses and what you can and can't
do
with it. This is why I hate most licenses, they are long and full of
"lawyer
speak". It is also why I like Creative Commons licenses (for content).
They
list 2-4 items and say you can do this, you can't do that and hide the
"lawyer speak" for the lawyers. I wish more licenses would do that.
