I suggest that you put your package under the LPPL, because that license will
allow you to control what is distributed. (May I point out that your concerns
coincide with LaTeX-Project in that respect?)
As for keeping informed, I think it reasonable that any author of a package
distributed with TeX Live ought to at least receive a copy of the CD gratis,
both as a sign of appreciation and as a means of quality control.

Thanks for the notice! Please keep us informed as to your release:
mailto:texlive@tug.org. The TeX Live master will be frozen quite shortly, and
if your new revision is released in time, it can be included, of course.
