Do I need to release my script under a license?

Hi all, been lurking for ages and though I'd join to ask the following:

I have created a PHP script which'll automatically carry out a series of actions which'll save a lot of people a lot of time.

It's highly configurable and comes in at ~350 lines of code.

I just want to be clear, is this something that I should release under the MIT license or similar perhaps?

It applies to "software" though I'd class it a simply a "script"?!

Am I over-thinking it and should it simply be released under the MIT license or not?

Many thanks in advance.

BSD licence, means people can do whatever with it, but just don't complain to you, lol

Thanks, taken a look at the 3-clause BSD-new license and that seems bang on what I'm after.

Cheers. :icon_mrgreen:

I'll be sure to post it here once it's ready, hopefully will have it sorted this weekend when I clear up a few of the more obvious bugs.
