It's ok for you to release your _own_ code under any license as long as
it's not proprietary or doesn't restrict any freedoms provided by the
libs you are linking to.
It's ok to make it some thing which is very permissive like MIT, BSD,
etc. or something which mandates that modifications are also Free
Software, like GPL.
You decide what suites your idea the most. Personally I'd prefer the GNU
GPL for apps and GNU LGPL for libs.

Regards,
BG
