Question regarding license choice for my program
(lemmy.world)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Of the points, not allowing others to make money from a fork could be difficult. You can ensure that a fork stays free, but iirc it's hard to stop anyone making money. Although I'm hesitant to suggest this, you might want to look at the license for Gnuplot (it's not gnu as in GNU), which is imho the least free license commonly called "free software", it effectively prevents forked projects. In which case another question might be, do you want it to be free software? Is the gratis aspect more important?
Thanks for the info. I replied to your question in a similar comment here: https://lemmy.world/comment/4851408
