How about a BSD'ish style license? I'm not sure how others feel about their code being used for 3rd party profit though.
People who write code, can license their code however they want to. Then it's up to the project leader to determine if he want it in the project or not. Personally I will GPL all code I am to contribute.
That's not actually true. Code licensed under GPL does not allow for any other kind of license. That's because the GPL expressly forbids non-public source, something which other licenses allow. You cannot mix GPL code with anyother license type. Period. End of story.
Read the license, you'll see what I mean. If you decide that your code should only be licensed under GPL, and you contribute it to a BSD project, you might as well contribute nothing.
