I've been so busy coding NeuDist that I've been pushing off the whole license issue. I'm generally speaking in favor of the Apache or BSD style licenses. But I'm really not sure of the issues.
Also how do I do this physically? Do I just pick say the Apache License file and do a search and replace of Apache to Neudist?
NeuDist is intended to be a platform for building financial applications on top of, so that is an issue.
Joel (on Software) has had an interesting debate with Ray Ozzie about Platforms. This covers some of the business and marketing related issues about companies developing platforms.
Now I'm developing a platform, but the software for it is Open Source, so the license probably is important as well.

Sure. There's nothing to stop you just using the Apache licence as is, if you don't mind assigning copyright over to the Apache Software Foundation. If not just search and replace the ASF with your name or your company etc.
