Software Licences

Name: Anonymous 2009-12-22 5:57

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?

PROTIP: nobody wants to use your shitty amateur code.
Use a free as in free license, not shitty restrictive viral crap like the GPL.

Would you believe some people make a profession over copyright law? Hahaha, it's true! I'm with you, though, if I can't find it in an hour and a half, might as well post to a random message board.

Wanting to protect your code from others is a sign of your own insecurity. When your code is alive with the Tao it flows like water, merging and branching unhindered in a beautiful dance. Truly, for a programmer loving your code means letting it free.

The Master
codes without doing anything
and teaches without saying anything.
Things arise and he lets them come;
things disappear and he lets them go.
He has but doesn't possess,
acts but doesn't expect.
When his work is done, he forgets it.
That is why it lasts forever.

All I can say to this is lol. This is basically the exact experience that I have had with the post-secondary institutions within the United States. I can honestly say that for the majority that professors and the institution wish to stifle creativity and independent thought. The narrow minded answers they want completely disregard the plethora of other choices that would reveal the correct answer. Whether or not the story is true, this is the attitude of the American educational institute, for those that think outside the box continue to. Revolutionist, non-conventionalist, and the blatant disregard for normalcy are the fundamentals to continuing our species in the area of science.
