Choosing the right license

Licenses.

Hi all,

I am (again) a bit confused about choosing the right license for TinyC5 - can anyone suggest me the right license (there are soo many) ?

In brief I want to be as un-restricted as possible:

• Anyone can use it without any costs, also for commercial use
• It should be of course an open source product
• A third person is not allowed to sell the library alone
• Any modification to the library are welcomed but should remain under the same license
• I dont want to be reliable for any damage caused by the project/code

Does anyone know?

Thanks in advance.

Best,
benny!

The only thing I've been involved with that's similar to this was the PS2DEV open source SDK. It used the Academic Free License (AFL). That might be a good fit.

The only bit I'm not sure about is selling the library on, I'm not sure if AFL restricts that.

That all sounds a great amount like good ol' creative commons

It remains a difficult subject...

Thanks for your answers guys. Creative common and the MIT are looking good. Will have a closer look at them.
