Licenses for PHP?

I am writing a PHP-based (non-database) site template for newbies or non-programmers and want to share the code. My question is: I don't want to use the GPL, because although I don't care what mods happen to the code, I do NOT want it sold. I don't care if it's altered, protected, unshared, etc, but I do not want anyone "selling" my code or even their time to build a website using my code. Anyone know of an appropriate license for uncompiled server-side web code?

RE: Licenses for PHP?

First off, IANAL, but I was under the impression that GPLed software couldn't be taken and sold. I just re-read the info on it and it still reads that way to me...check this URL out and let me know what you think...

Well, the FSF certainly makes it appear that way. I was reading about licensing from GNU.org at http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/license-list.html . I didn't get the same impression there.

I did make my own license and agreement, but I'm not sure if I'd rather use an existing one so I don't leave loopholes. I haven't totally decided yet. I'll post here when either way when I do make up my mind.
