Thanks infratec.

What is the license of this module? May i suggest using the MIT license? So we can use it in all kind of projects including our own modules.

Wikipedia MIT explanation.

I ask because it would be useful for my own upcoming logging module (which will use the MIT license too, so everybody can use it for free).

Hi,

it has the 'no license'.
This license is more liberal than any other.
You can do with it what you want.

This piece of software was the result of a coding question and the 'tuning' was just for fun.

If I have to choose always a license for all my code lines which I provided here in the forum,
I need double of the time to choose the right one. And maybe the code size get so big that I need 2 code sections to post it.

Please just pick a license I know it is annoying, but "no license" basically means that i can't include or use it because "who knows what will happen tomorrow, it had no license - your fault that you used it. Now deal with the consequences".

I linked you to the MIT license and an in detail explanation about it, because i think that's the license that is the closest to your intentions of publishing your project.

"Without a license" would classically be freeware and that can be surpringly toxic. Google can tell you stories.

We are here in the forum where examples and code snippets or modules are published. They are not whole programs or libraries. So everyone here can use and adapt everything as they like.
In the forums of C++ or VB-Scripting there is also no licence for every little code snippet.
And if someone does not want their publications to be used, they should not do so here either.

No license means public domain. Do what you want with it. Licenses can't be retroactively applied, so if there's no license for v1.00 then it's yours to do what you want. If v2.00 then comes along with a license, then you're free to ignore it and keep using and updating v1.00 yourself. (Disclaimer: This is not legal advice, lol. Just logic applied to the situation).

It is generally accepted that if you publish your code in a public place with 'no license', it is free for all without any restrictions.
Of course the purists will say no, it is not in the public domain and that copyright applies but how many cases have already been tested in court anywhere on the planet? I don't know!
Or, it can be seen like this:
If you think you need a license to use a piece of code in a public forum, then ask for it or you can't, otherwise do what you want with it.
I like the idea behind the WTFPL license (do What The Fuck you want to Public License)

the purists will say no

It doesn't matter what purists thinks. No license or restrictions mentioned = public domain.

What defines a purist anyway? I am a purist (I go strictly by the book) and I wouldn't say no.
