Hi Ron,
I'm trying to find a specific license that
exactly
covers my interests. Maybe it's a Creative Commons
license.
You can use CC licences to cover most possibilities. Attribution is
taken as a given with the version 2 licences. The only problem is
that CC licences are very lengthy and lawyeristic (the 'legal code'),
although there is a summary you can provide for users (the 'commons
deed').
Try this one for starters:
http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nd/2.0/
I'm not sure if restricting modification of the
library would prevent it from being included in Debian
distributions.
It would - see item 3 here:
http://www.debian.org/social_contract#guidelines
However, Debian does have a mechanism for 'non-free' packages.
Cheers
Daniel
