Thank you for raising this interesting topic. There is no one-fits-all
answer to this, as mostly depends on the licenses of the libraries /
dependencies used by your plugin and their implications. One resource that
might be useful is:
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-recommendations.html
As a general remark, from my experience it's always better to choose among
licenses already formulated rather than creating your special one, unless
you're a specialized lawyer and know what you're doing.
