[mdlug] License help needed

[David Favro]

Hi,

Does anyone know of a source for free software license information?  I
am writing some software that I want to release under a license that is
less than 100% free (I want to deny licensees the freedom to sell my
software without contributing some of the profits to me).  In other
words, it would be dual-licensed, at your option:
1. GPL but restricted: you can't sell it
2. Commercial license, you can sell it but a negotiated royalty per
license would be returned to me.

It's not that I think anyone would want to sell my software, and please
excuse me for denying users their rights, but I simply feel that all my
life I have made many corporations a lot of money through my hard work,
and while they have paid me, they made a lot more than me, and mostly
what I got was repetitive motion injury.  Now I don't want to take any
risk that it happens again, without them returning a little to me.  So
(not that these guys would want it, but you never know): include in
Ubuntu -- no problem.  Include in RHEL -- only if I get a fraction of
their fee for each license they sell.

So, I started looking for license resources and haven't found them.

The Free Software Foundation maintains a list of licenses
(http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html), but it only
categorizes them by Copyleft vs. Non-Copyleft and GPL-compatible vs.
non-GPL-compatible -- very little additional description of the nature
of the license.

I wrote to the Software Freedom Law Center
(http://www.softwarefreedom.org/ -- this is the FSF's legal counsel, and
the guys who wrote the GPL), but they responded to me that denying
others the right to sell my software without returning a portion of the
profits to me makes it non-free software, and they don't help people who
write non-free software, so they refused to help me.

So, I wonder, does anyone here know of such a license, or of a web
resource (list of licenses, describing the differences between them), or
better, a Usenet group or mailing-list or other forum where these things
are discussed?  I must believe that someone else also wants this kind of
license.

TIA,
David F.
