Hi.

> This software is used by myself or will be published as a freeware.

Please avoid the word "freeware", as it's poorly defined.
See http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html

> But what license should I used for the software? GPL? Or ?

No, you can't use the GPL, since it's going to be used as a module of
a non-GPL program (actually, a proprietary one).

You can use a MIT-style license (non-copyleft) or the LGPL, clarifying
what the "Library" is in this case.

Please refer to http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl-faq.html

Hope this helps

PS: please avoid sending two copies of your mail message. The html is
definitely unneeded and exceedingly long. You should configure your mailer
to only send the text version of your messages.
