Yup, that's perfect. Thanks!
In effect, it sounds like you were releasing it under a MIT-style
license all along. Its just that the law is so huge, and lawyers are
so expensive, so if you use a well established license, the
ramifications are well documented and already worked out. If you use
your own license, then only a court can tell us definitively what the
general public's rights are.
