Find suitable license

[janlucaklees]

As the App shall be free and opensource, the theoretical possibility exists, that someone just snatches our code and brings our app to the Play-Store first (in the current state more than ridiculous). But in the future we should think about this.

What would be good is a MIT-ish license that only restricts selling our Software.

This especially applies for the App. The Api, Dictionary and Docker-files should not have this problem.

"What would be good is a MIT-ish license that only restricts selling our Software."

Not possible if it should stay Open Source.
From the Open Source definition:

"The license shall not restrict any party from selling or giving away the software as a component of an aggregate software distribution containing programs from several different sources. The license shall not require a royalty or other fee for such sale."

Hmm, interesting. Then I didn't quite understood "open-source".

Still I won't want anybody to sell our App. First because I want the App to be free, as education should be. And secondly it would be very frustrating to see someone else getting away with selling something we worked for and maybe even get the fame for it.

There is a difference between Open Source and Free Software, although it often happens a software is both. Since I'm currently in the process of getting to know Licensing Stuff for another Project, I would take this Issue and prepare something which the group can then decide on.
