BSD 4-clause is really not ok.  What's ok is a license which grants the
right to copy, yada, yada, yada, if the license doesn't require us to
add the attribution to all the affected boilerplates.

I'm not an expert in attribution requirements, but in our case that
means, if you choose some attribution license, it should be one which
allows us to keep the attribution in the sources only.  For setup.exe,
for instance, that would be the setup.exe CONTRIBUTORS file, and I would
add you to the affected ChangeLog entries.  There would be no "(C) for
the icon art: Warren Young" in the splash screen.

Having said that, you would get that for free with the GPL anyway :)
