    Hi @RaceRay, under the points you stated it could fall under a Creative Commons license, namely the "Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivs 3.0 Unported" License (CC BY-NC-ND 3.0). This is an international license that comes really close to what you posted.

    See this link for a human readable version: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/deed.en_US. There is a link on top of the page to the legal mumbojumbo (it's boring, difficult legal talk but you should read it and maybe talk it over with someone who knows this stuff, like a lawyer or jurist). Note that the en_US at the end of the link indicates that the page is in English, other languages are available.

    I have no further experience in such licenses other then the GNU General Public License as I work with that license on a daily basis because WordPress is released under GPLv2 and as such all my work is also GPLv2.

    Edit: Creative Commons has a wizard which can help you choose the right license here: http://creativecommons.org/choose/

    The wiki entry seams a bit unclear as it looks like they wrote that in regards to open source licences. Anyhow, take your time. You could mention the list you posted as a general "human readable" version of the license your are drafting up. You don't have to rush it, it's better to do it once right then many times wrong ;)

    Just my 2ct, happy to help out.
