Comparison of open-source licenses
i miss the lovely and extremely liberal zlib/libpng license.
in short "here's the code, don't sue us".

Wouldn't the MIT/X11 license be a good choice for this situation? It's fairly liberally used, permissive, and has a similar anti-endorsement clause.

Main difference is that the zlib license does not require you to ship the copyright from non-source distributions. It's essentially "I don't need credit, as long as you don't say you made it yourself".
