I don't like copyleft[1].
The right way to give away software is public domain, or like this:
http://www.cs.wustl.edu/~schmidt/ACE-copying.html
if you want to retain copyright and still give it away.

[1] For some purposes, such as acedemic use, copyleft may be a good way to go,
since it *forces* everyone to give away all future development.  On the other
hand, why not just make it public domain?

copyleft is evil.
