There are a bunch of licenses that are basically the same thing. Unfortunately,
several are BSD so you have to specify the 2 clause or 3 clause or whatever. I think
one's from MIT.

I use the Expat license when I don't care if they take my work private:

If you read it, pretty much the only thing it does for you is to disclaim all
warranty, damages and liability, which is probably exactly what you want.

HTH,
