Perhaps the FAQ could use an "executive overview", 
in addition to the link 
http://open-beos.sourceforge.net/nsl.php?mode=display&id=23#74

I find it amusing that both MIT and GPL start with "Copyright (c)"
and then list all the ways the code can be copied/used. 
Seems counterintuitive.

Anyway, MIT is a good choice.
