Well shux! I love it when I answer my own questions:

<http://www.phpfreaks.com/tutorials/19/0.php>

I blame it on lack of sleep!

The GNU GPL License sounds like what I need. :D

Cheers,

If you want to retain some credit but don't care about
distribution/modification/redistribution, check out the MIT license (more
commonly referred to as the X or X11 license). We're using it in a project
that combines PHP and text-to-speech technology. It allows people to
improve (or degrade) our code, but says that we should still get our names
at the top as the original authors.

You know more than me daniel :P

All current releases aren't packed with any license, and in
sourceforge the PHP license is selected i believe :P

I'd say, don't worry too much about the license, just put your name on
top of the code, and some other nonsense, like:
You're allowed to use this code, as long as you leave above lines
intact., where above your credit is listed of course.

Ah, great tip! :D

I will definitely read-up on the MIT license after I get some zzZZzz's!

It sure does sounds like what I am looking for. ;)

Oh, wow! That sounds like a great project... and it is cool to hear what
you/your team decided to use for licensing. :)

Many thanks Daniel! I really appreciate the help and advice.

Have a great day,
Cheers,
Micky

Ah, well, that does sound good too. I a mainly looking to keep my
name/website somewhere in the comments. :D

Whichever route I end-up taking, it is definitely nice to hear what the
pros prefer. ;)

Thanks again Tijnema!

Have a great day.
Cheers,
Micky

Don't forget the MIT license allows people to incorporate your code into
commercial products and sell for profit without having to give anything
back (money/improved code/etc).

Right, I alluded to that, but perhaps I should've said that exactly, as
it may bother some people. In my case, it doesn't bother me in the least,
just as I use LAMP (all open source) to make a living.
