OK, this is offtopic. Not meant to be flame or troll.

I wish that there were some centralized location where
I could learn about all these licenses and why they are
loved/hated by various people in various situations.

I hear endless debate about it all, but I have no clear
understanding of it.

For simplicity, anything I release in Ruby will be under
the same license as Ruby.

As for "unrestrictive as possible..." Here is the world's
most unrestrictive license: "This software is completely
free. Take it and pretend you wrote it. Sell it at a
huge profit."
