I know this is slightly OT (since it's not strictly OS X related) but I thought some people here might be able to help me out.

Basically, I have a PHP-based project that's nearing release quality, and I'm considering releasing it under some sort of OpenSource license. The only problem is, I can't seem to find the right license because most of them seem to be geared towards compiled software, and not programs written in interpreted languages like PHP which only have source distributions.

For an example, if I GPL'd my project and a corporation wanted to deploy my software as a service to it's customers, would they be obligated to make their modifications available to the public?

Is it possible to license some of the libraries (that are include'd by the main code) under one license, and the rest under a different license?

I'd like to hear what some of the other PHP developers think about this, and what your experiences are.

TIA
