Choosing a license for an open source Android app?

I can't figure out under which license I need to post the project.
The project is an Android application.
Requirement:

  • You can not collect and sell the application
  • Can't sell even if you rewrite it
  • Open projects based on mine must have attribution


At the same time, anyone can make an assembly of the original or modified project and distribute it for free by any means.

GPL application, LGPL is definitely not suitable for you.

I've never heard of such a thing... You can forbid changing the license, or rather, specify that the derivative product must be distributed under the same license. This is the GNU GPL.
> In open projects based on mine, authorship must be indicated.
This is in all more or less well-known free licenses.
And one more nuance about which I doubt. It seems that it is quite possible to add your own clauses to some licenses, if, of course, they do not break the logic. It's forbidden to sell there.

Although they say that CC for software is not optimal and it's better to look for other, specifically software
