Wow. This is an amazing point, and quite honestly i am sorry for not including it. My intent is to have people DO SOMETHING WITH IT. Not just to look at it. I want people to very much do anything they find of value with it. Would that be more GPL or BSD? I will update the post...

Go with BSD if you want people to do something with it. Unless you don't want for people to make closed source apps with it, then go with GPL.

Note that there are 2 common variants of the BSD license: "2-clause" and "3-clause". Don't forget to specify which one you mean.

I'm using the ISC license (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISC_license) which is equivalent to the 2-clause BSD, but does so with fewer and simpler words.

Also, the MIT license (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_license) is quite popular. It is also equivalent to the 2-clause BSD, but not quite as short as the more modern ISC license.
