publications - What license to use while putting papers on the Arxiv?

I am new to this and not sure what to make of all the options available. I am interested in putting a machine-learning-related preprint, which will potentially be submitted to places like NIPS/ICLR/ICML in the future.

Answer

This is the right license that you can always safely pick (assuming you can submit to arXiv at all):
