Writing a license for my proprietary OSS =\

[Insolence]

How should this license look? I want to develop some web applications for my teachers, and distribute it to other schools. People should be able to edit the software themselves and contribute to a community of developers that I hope to create. I'm thinking of something like $15 per program, not much but enough to put me through college if I get enough support. "To use this software you must pay a $15 fee. You may not redistribute this software. You are allowed to edit this software however you see fit." Is all I can think of now =\

Read through some EULAs on software you have for examples of legalese, if you need to. You should perhaps add that they are not allowed to edit it in a way that obscures it's origin or hides the original license. Christian Graus - Microsoft MVP - C++
