The Gnu copyleft (Gnu General Public Licence) may be the best bet, as it
is well established. This would mean that all derivative work must be
open source as well.
If that is not intended, the lesser copyleft (Library Gnu Public
Licence) may fit the bill, it allows the code to be used in commercial,
closed code projects.
IMHO these two options should satisfy most needs, why reinvent the
wheel?
