most python based web applications are using Django, and Django is BSD licensed.

https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/LICENSE

a recommendation engine is great for all kind of web apps, and licensing it with BSD makes it more adopted by django web apps.

Thanks for the input, I changed the license to BSD!

Be aware that if you license your work under the BSD then someone else can take your work, change it, improve it, sell it — and never share his changes with you.

So Netflix could take your recommender system, use it to make millions and do nothing but mention you in a footnote somewhere on their website.

And they wouldn't even need to do that.
