Hey everybody - I have an open source project that I'm working on and I'm trying to figure out what liscense would be the best match. Essentially my project is a framework that developers will use to create projects of their own.

The vision I had for the licensing of the project (in plain English):

  • The user must not sell the source code or any derivatives.
  • The user must not sell the framework or any derivatives.
  • The user is allowed to sell a program which uses the framework.

Basically, I just don't want anyone to abuse the open source aspect of the project, take what I've done and turn around and sell it.

Any suggestions on a good license to use to acheive this?

Thanks, Tyler
