Generally Pd's license is well accepted in the comunity, another
popular choice is the GPL. I would recommend to stay away from trying
to make up your own license.

There seems to be no consensus about wether a patch, that uses
externals released under GPL, should have to be GPL, too. Personally I
don't believe it has to be GPL, but I think, IOhannes once argued that
it has to be GPL as well. (Which would mean, that all patches using
[expr] would need to be GPL, btw.)

Ciao
