May I suggest MIT (http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT) or BSD 3 Clause (http://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause) license?

I didn't bother with a license, its free for anyone to use though. Any reason for those two licenses you mentioned?

I usually hesitate to use code without license simply because I don't know if it is free for anyone to use or not. I've mentioned MIT and BSD-3-Clause because they are simple permissive licenses, e.g. allow everyone to use the code (both in open source and in close commercial code). The only thing required by those licenses is to preserve the copyright message -- which is fair, or course :) Also, the part starting with "THE SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED "AS IS", WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND... " is also reasonable since it protects the author of the code from any liability.
