I would contact sourceforge and ask them this question. I'm sure they are familiar with the situation.

You decide which licence you wish to use and use it :)

Usually one selects an OSI-approved template.

opensource.org/licenses

There's no "applying" to anyone, you just go ahead and use it. Just make sure you're quite familiar with its terms, if you did not write it.

i am opting for a gpl or lgpl but to be frank I DONT know the difference between the two
.

and yes i coded 99% of the code .only in one form i used the transculency concept from karl.e.peterson's home page where it's mentioned that one can use the code as he wishes in binary but in source should obtain a written consent .Now i changed the code according to my applic. and in no way does it resemble the original code .will i have a problem with that??

the applictation is somewhat similar to an inventory ,tracking and materials management system in concept.
