You don't need a form to apply a FLOSS license, simply chose one and
add a copy of the license to your code. Starting points might be

https://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html
https://www.freebsd.org/internal/software-license.html
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_free_and_open-source_software_licenses
https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ModifiedBSD
https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#FreeBSD

I don't know if you need to add the license as a comment on top of the
header files, as well as providing a license file or if just one or the
other is needed, but it shouldn't be hard to find out, when reading
about the licenses. To add a FLOSS license to your code, you don't need
to install a FLOSS operating system, but don't offend a
license, assuming you code should include code of others.
