the CC-BY is not really intended for software so its a bit confusing for users and might create legal issues for some. most Symfony2 Bundles use MIT.

Do you think the LGPL can do the trick ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Lesser_General_Public_License

well it depends on what you want to achieve with your license choice. LGPL is a software license, so that is definitely a better choice than CC. LGPL puts some additional restrictions over MIT which can help force contributions back into your code. at the same time as most other things are MIT in the Symfony world, using the LGPL might also turn some people away from your Bundle, because they do not want to add another OSS license to their application.

ok, Go for the MIT license. I'll do the changes in the day.
Thanks for your return :-)
