For that case, the Simplified BSD license is the go. It requires
notice that you used code from that author / copyright holder, and
notice that the author of that code that you used made it available to
you on an "As Is" basis (so don't bother trying to sue them if
something goes wrong), and that's it.
It allows the code to be elaborated and used by anyone, for
proprietary code, for further release under the Simplified BSD
license, or for release under any other Open-Source license code.
