BSD or MIT licenses nicely avoid that sort of thing, but also tend to 
grant less 'protection' back to the developer .. yet that's what cold is 
under, as well as things like a family of OSes (the BSDs, duh), and a 3D 
engine the Nebula Device (http://www.radonlabs.de/) and so on.  Works 
nicely, little issue if someone wants to do commercial use.
