On the Subject of Personal Game Libraries

As far as I know, I would be allowed to use it in my game, as long as I make it publicly available before hand. However, I don’t know the specifics behind it. Does the entirety of the source code need to be publicly available, or would the library jar file with attached source suffice? Also what type licence should/can I have on it?
