I would honestly be fine releasing all my scripts under a Creative Commons BY-NC-SA license. That would mean that non-commercial derivative works would be allowed, as long as I receive credit for the original work. I just want my intellectual property to remain my intellectual property. I know that there aren't "thugs around every corner", but there are thugs nonetheless.

I've seen open source and free software be used as synonyms a lot in these kinds of arguments.
