Ok, I am not a lawyer so I don't know anything about this license stuff.
I just meant it is free to use and do whatever you want with.
GPLv2 was agreed with our lawyers for the driver source code, so I just
stuck that on the firmware as well (not looking forward to another time
consuming pass through the legal department!).

If GPLv2 implies that you have to provide source code, then what other 
license should I use that means freedom, but no source code?

Note that:

a) I actually *lost* the source code (no joke or excuse!)
b) This is for a proprietary in-house micro engine, so while we don't
   necessarily mind providing the source code, we don't want to provide
   any documentation or assembler for that. As we definitely don't want
   to *support* any other people messing with it. Making the source code 
   effectively useless anyway.
