The license is always up to the author. Not open sourcing something doesn't make you evil unless you scarfed up some GPL'd stuff in which case I'd start running. NOW.
Some questions to ask youself:
My gut feeling is that as your just starting off, I'd tread very carefully for now. Later on when you're well established and know when your money is going to be coming from, and you're comfortable with opening it up, then do so. As far as licensing issues go, IANAL and don't know what country you're based in so I'd suggest you do some searches for legal disclaimers. I don't think that open source licenses are any more protective other than that many have had very careful legal scrutiny. My 2p.
