[x] open for competition
[x] don't try to be the "only" / "best" / ... karaoke game, instead target to improve karaoke gaming. Choose a license that supports this

GPL and LGPL do not allow for usage in license-incompatible third party applications like Unity3D or similar. MPL and Apache license would fit most of the requirements, but don't allow code reuse in closed source karaoke game and thus kind of don't fulfill the last requirement. MIT license fulfills all these requirements and easily allows for future license changes.
