Having created a full-fledged application, I asked myself a question - which license to choose? There are so many of them: GNU GPL, BSD, Artistic, Affero, Apache, LGPL, MIT/X11, ZPL, MPL. Reading all the documentation about each license in full is just not enough time. Therefore, I would like to hear the opinion of people who are already facing this problem. Which license to choose for a product that can be used for any purpose, modified, copied, published, but it is forbidden to sell the product itself as your own?

Is it forbidden to sell? As far as I know, none forbids selling, but about your own....maybe you need a Zlib License, it forbids you to claim that you did not write the original product. Well, or GPL, GPL software is usually difficult to sell ;)
