License question

hello,

Because i needed exr-support for some java-projects i decided to write 
an exr-library for java.
I finished the reading part and i hope i can release the writing part in 
the next days.
What do i have to consider when i publish it as open source?
Does it suffice to use the BSD-license like the original openexr-library?
What else do i have to do?
Who/what is to be mentioned?

give my regards
Mario Fichtenmayer
