License for BlogX?

Dare asked a good question in the comments below. What is the license for BlogX? I put a copyright at the top of each file, but I didn't think about enough of what I really want here. I guess I'm looking for a license that provides the following:

  • Free (no charge) use by anyone with or without modification (free)
  • Anyone using the source or binaries I provide must hold me harmless (no warranties)
  • Any product that uses the source or binaries can use any license they wish (no viral licensing)
  • No limitations on usage in acedemic or commercial spaces (for your use anywhere)

Given that it only took me ~15 hours of coding, I can't imagine there is all that much IP in the source, but I don't want this to come around and bite me in the ass. :)

Any suggestions on a good license? GPL won't work because of the viral stuff... MS Shared Source won't work because of the acedemic limitations... other suggestions?
