https://mirbsd.bsdadvocacy.org:8890/cvs.cgi/src/usr.sbin/rdate/ntpleaps.h
-> revision 1.7 had a "standard" licence put on it; I was asked by
   the OpenBSD developers to do that

https://mirbsd.bsdadvocacy.org:8890/cvs.cgi/src/share/misc/licence.template
-> is what I personally use; it's EU-centric, but pretty short.
   On the other hand it doesn't have official OSI approval (though I
   got some feedback, and a lot of hints from the ifrOSS).

http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/src/share/misc/license.template
-> an even easier one, "blessed" by the OpenBSD people, modified from an
   ISC template (thus would qualify for OSI as well, though I don't think
   mine doesn't). But it makes me feel uneasy, although I can't _prove_
   it's a copyleft-like licence.

These are your choices; other than that, looking at opensource.org
is obviously a good thing.

Good luck, thanks for replying!
