I have nothing against the GPL--but to me it represents an unknown that I would like to get out of the way as early as possible so that I no longer have to think about it. Although the software will never be commercial, I may have a future purpose for the software that involves connecting with closed-source code, and I simply don't know enough about the legal aspects there. I'd rather err on the side of safety when it comes to licensing. Part of the reason for developing my own software was to avoid just these kinds of difficulties.
Also, since ExtIO was on my list of things to support anyway, I may as well do it sooner rather than later.
At any rate, thanks for the advice.

using a GPL-compatible license eventually, but the code isn't ready for

Suggestion - don't spend time circumventing the GPL compatibility and release your code in open-source from the day one. Saved time could spend to get the software working better.
