Open Source (Almost) Everything
What license would you recommend instead, for those of us who prefer not using share-alike licenses (e.g., the GNU GPL)?

The Apache license is generally considered to be the most bullet-proof of the non-copyleft open source licenses. It's what Big Corporations generally use when they don't use the GPLv2. The MIT and BSD text is significantly shorter and less formal.
