We need a license to stop evildoers from nuking Poland allowing people to use and contribute to the codebase (as you might know: No license = All rights reserved)
Quick website on licenses: http://choosealicense.com/licenses/
Proposals:
GPLv3
- Cannot ever be closed down (ie. someone takes our source and makes it closed/commercial)
BSD 3 / New BSD
- Allows commercial use and closing down, but still requires a notice that it's using our stuff (while having a "Non endorsement clause" which forbids advertising using our name)
MIT
- Pretty much the same as BSD, except without the No-endorsement clause, but it's really simple and short.
It all comes down to the scope of our project.
Do we want something that people can embed and use in their applications?
If so, we should use MIT/BSD.
Do we want something that will always be free and open and can't just be outright taken by someone else and made into a commercial product that doesn't benefit our project?
Then we should go for the GPLv3.

As decided on IRC, GPL it is!
