You have to be careful with this. Although most of the world works on 
"bona fides", not everybody does and you could have problems or pass on 
problems to somebody.

For example, in Europe legislation (and US and probably the majority of 
the planet) if you do not say anything about your license, and do not 
license your creation, by default your intellectual property rights are 
COMPLETE, that means that it is distributed under the most restrictive 
copyright distribution of all; nobody can touch the code.

IANAL, but I would really recommend you do not create yourself a 
license, use one of the many that already exist, they were created by 
lawyers and they know what they are doing (I hope :-) ).  Also consult a 
lawyer to undertand the different licenses out there and pick one that 
you are comfortable with.

Just my opinion
