What is everyones favorite license for your OS projects? I'm curious about how many projects are compatible with each other at the license level. I'm also trying to figure out what the source code in the wiki should be licensed as. I'm leaning towards public domain on source code examples but maybe creative commons on the wiki text itself.

I prefer the BSD license because of it's flexibility. It can be used for commercial use, as well, which some of the options above cannot be.
That being said, my OS is not under the BSD license. Currently, it's under no license (I suppose that would be considered public domain)

no license does not mean PD -- it means no permission is given to anyone for anything, to put it into PD (at least here in the US) you must specifically place it into PD (you must specifically revoke your rights, rather than specifically invoke them)
