SourceForge
Installing Subversion on Bluehost (a shared host) looks like it’ll be difficult, at least until they offer it officially, so I’ve decided to register on SourceForge and use their servers instead. It takes up to two business days for them to process it, assuming that it gets approved. We’ll have to wait and see…
Anyway, I chose the GNU Public License (GPL) for the project. Why? Mainly because it’s the one I’m most familiar with (that’s what happens when you use Linux for eight years :)), and I didn’t want to read through all the legalese in all of the others (MIT, Mozilla, etc.). The stuff on the website itself will still be Creative Commons, though.

Would you consider using the lesser GPL? It is much more friendly (i.e. it doesn’t infect the rest of your code when you reuse LGPL code).
Um, I think it’s too late now. ~sigh~ (But if SourceForge lets me change the license after the project is approved, assuming it is approved, then certainly.) The alternative is finding another free Subversion host, because that’s the only reason I registered on SourceForge. I still plan on having most downloads come from this site, because it’s a pain to have to go to SourceForge and then choose a location and finally get the file. Much easier to have a big green Download button on the front page of this site.
It’s not too late to change licensing. In fact, you can also dual-license your code if you want to. It just depends what you want others to do with it.
That’s good. Phew. :) I want the code to be open and able to be used by whoever wants to use it. Commercial use of the code bothers me just a little bit, but not enough to forbid it. So lesser GPL it is, then.
DreamHost offers Subversion.
