Hi, i am wondering what kind of licence i should use, if the user may do whatever they want with both .exe file and sourcecode, however they want.
Any ideas?

GPL derivative perhaps? Or you could go similar to mozilla license or the simplified 2/3 clause BSD license... Or you could write
Just as in your postthe user may do whatever they want with both .exe file and sourcecode, however they want
Although you may want some disclaimer saying that the software is supplied as is without warranty yadayadaya....
I once tried to change the world. But they wouldn't give me the source code. Damned evil cunning.
BSD/MIT/ZLIB licenses are very non-restrictive. You might want to use one of those.
GPL is infact somewhat restrictive because anyone who makes a derived product must free the sourcecode aswell. That's often a no-go for those who want to go down the commercial path.

There are so many options you can choose from. I think the MIT license is the best option (and my personal favorite license), take a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIT_license
There are also the zlib, BSD and MPL license which offer the same degree of freedom. Other alternative would be to release your app as public domain or as any of the Creative Commons license, for example: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/

I think the WTFPL 2.0 license is exactly what you are looking for.

The Open Source initiative has a list with most open source licenses, comments, advices, search... Is worth to look it and read some.
