Hey guys, sorry if this is a stupid question but I've been searching around for a while to try and find an easy licence that has the following requirements:
-Software can be modified/altered in any way
-Neither the Software, nor derived copies can be distributed for a profit
-All distributed copies must retain the same copyright licence
I've been searching around for a few hours, and found a few that look like they would fit these, but all I've seen exclude something, or include a heap of other restrictions. Eventually I gave up and wrote up a little one, I was just wondering whether someone could take a look over it and give any suggestions on improving it; perhaps suggesting a stable licence that follows these requirements?
Anyways hope this is the right section for this, if it's not just let me know which I should post this in.
