Ok, I remember reading something about this...I guess it was sitting at 
the back of my mind, bugging me while refusing to come forward. ;-)
I'll probably go with the Artistic License, maybe the Clarified Artistic 
License...it seems very reasonable and straightforward.
I'll avoid the GPL from now on, even if that clause gets removed. I 
don't trust people who would put that kind of thing in the license.
