Hi,
I am working on a tool program that I want to make available as open 
source. Since I am using Gnat GPL, I am not sure if I have to make my 
source GPL too or can I change the license? I don't really want to 
impose any restrictions on the user, so I dont want to force anybody to 
make their code open source because they use my code, but since it's 
based on Gnat, I don't know if that's possible.

What do others here do with their open source code? Is there a template 
license that I can just copy into my source files?

Thanks
