Hello,
I want to copyright my script (website program) so it's free for non commercial use. I think this is called semi-free. Do i need to write a copyright or do i need to get a lawyer to? I don't want to use a lawyer because it's more of an experiment than a business move.
If anyone has an example of this type of copyright i'd be grateful.
Peter
Semi-free copyright
Aspects such as 'free for non-commercial use' refer to how you licence your work.
There is no need to get a lawyer for this, I would simply go to http://creativecommons.org/license/ and use their online licence generator to create on for you.

When you write your copyright notice you could just write something like
'Permission granted to reproduce for personal and educational use only. Commercial copying, hiring, lending is prohibited.'
(I nabbed this from http://www.copyrightservice.co.uk/copyr ... ht_notices which is a handy factsheet).
