I'll soon release my AI for Game Maker / Enigma, but I need to decide the licence first.
Well, yeah, other people who release their project simply don't care as the Game Maker licence itself sucks, but I do.
I've worked a lot on this project, and I want people to be able to use it but not to steal it. Some ideas:
- people should be able to use it in closed source non-commercial games - I want citation for my work - freely redistributable
A MIT/BSD licence should do the trick for the citation, but what about the non-commercial use only? The only thing that comes to my mind is CC, but I don't know if that's a licence for code, and even so, there are a lot of CC licence, and I don't know which one to pick.

Sometimes I swear those people are writing in another language. </OffTopic> http://creativecommons.org/choose/?lang=en_US , though I'm not a proponent of CC for code. Really, I'd just write my own license, in your position.

@Rusky See http://www.opensource.org/osd.html Section 5 and 6 seem to suggest that no open-source licenses can restrict against commercial use.

@Fede-lasse It's nice to see some interest. Yes, I always put my best into developing my AIs, and if I'm not satisfied with the results, I don't publish them.
Can I see?
If I can fix this today, I'll post it here.
