I'm offering Syck under two licenses, which you can choose from.  

The first is a standard BSD license.  No restrictions on modifying, copying, 
publishing, etc. but please include the copyright sort of thing.

The second is a "Death and Repudiation" license, which restricts ANY use of 
the library (even perfectly legitimate and non-commercial uses) until after 
one's death.  This means that if you accept this license, you agree to code 
against Syck blindly and provide your children with the means to compile and 
distribute your software.  The "Repudation" part of license indicates that 
even after your death, I will unexpectedly revoke this license and sue your 
heirs.

Full texts for these two flavors of licensing shall be available in the next 
release.  Thank you for your inquiry.
