I'm looking for a software License similar to the MIT License (that is, an Opensource software License).

It should cover the following points:

  • The software can be used and distributed free of charge;
  • The software may be used in opensource and commercial applications;
  • The software may be distributed unaltered within the application

But with these exceptions:

  • The software has to be mentioned in a publicly available document within the application (e.g., in the documentation or in the manual);
  • The software has to be flagged as such when being altered (and may use a different License in this case)

Does such a License already exist? If not, which license would be a good candidate to insert these exceptions?

+1  A: 

Create your own license. The mit license is a template you "can" use, like the others. You can do whatever you want with your intellectual property.

Fair enough, I guess. I'm going to use the MIT License as template then.

Don't label it as such. You can tell it is based on the MIT License, but name it EULA (End User License Agreement) or anything you like

Yes, although EULA sounds so awfully much like what you get with closedsource software if you get the hint ;-)thanks anyway.
