Type of license for the test task?

Question

Law in IT

Hello. I think many received test tasks from different companies for different positions. So today I again received a test task (front-end) and I'm tired of the fact that in some cases my test tasks are used for commercial purposes. Therefore, the question arose if you upload the project to git and put a shareware license, will it help? The problem is that I can't find that type of license (free for home use, paid for commercial). Many plugins use such licenses, such as isotope , but what is the right way to write all this?
PS Please, without trolls like: "the one who is interested in these licenses" and other things. I live in Europe, and here they treat it strictly.
Thank you.

Answer 1

Release under the GPL. You, as the author, have the right to relicense the code. Those. those who wish are given the opportunity, with your permission, to use your GPL code under another license (the text of which you can write yourself).

Answer 2

Look at the Creative Commons licenses . There are just restrictions on commercial use. I would especially look at CC BY-NC 4.0 ( here's the contents in a nutshell ).

Answer 3

So today I again received a test task (front-end) and I'm tired of the fact that in some cases my test tasks are used for commercial purposes.

A test task (if it is free, of course; and that is, paid test tasks, if anything) is too small a thing, not valuable in itself and cannot be used for commercial purposes without significant alteration.
You are being swindled.

Let me first ask: why did you give them all licenses for commercial use? And it’s simple - why were licenses issued at all? The majority, I believe, would not even have thought of attaching a treaty to the sent decision, unless they had been required to do so.

You yourself answered this question in a postscript.

License type: non-free license. It is not particularly customary to typify them deeper.
And if "type" is you left out the word "typical", then there is no such pool of generic non-free license agreements for non-free software as there is for free software, thank God. Each small proprietor, as usual, either writes it himself, looking at his neighbor (which is nothing so complicated), or turns to professionals.
But, I repeat, in your situation, I do not understand why you need a contract.
