The license is similar to the MIT license, but without the possibility of selling it?

Question

I am trying to decide how I want to publish my Wordpress themes. I know that the GPL is recommended for creators of the Wordpress theme, but I believe that this may not be liberal enough for me, because I want companies to be able to use them if they want. I really like the MIT license, the only thing that bothers me is the freedom to sell part. I don’t want anyone to accept my topics and sell them on some farm website, they should be free for everyone, however I don’t want to require them to re-post any changes to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I think this freedom should remain intact.

Is there a license that fits into the terms listed here? I am not a lawyer, so I have problems reading a complex license language. To clarify, I don't care if the GPL is compatible, but the GNU GPL is not what I want. If MIT does not have a similar license, but with the conditions indicated by me, should I just license under the modified MIT? If so, can someone help me write it? Many thanks!

Answer 1

You can simply take the MIT license and add a redefinition offer that prevents the sale or sublicensing of the product for money.

Or you can take this license to someone who knows about licensing and get them to do it. In other words, the type of lawyer, not the technical type.

Any advice from non-lawyers will cost exactly as much money as they brought to their legal degree at the University :-)

Answer 2

Creative Commons is the most popular for non-GPL topics I've seen. With CC-nc-sa (non-profit, share-like), it does not allow people to resell them, but makes them redistributable.

EDIT: Also, you can dictate what “attribution” means. This may mean rejecting comments inside the PHP theme files.
