I want to release some javascript libraries under an open source license, but am having some difficulty picking one. I want a license that meets the following requirements:
Credit must be given to the original author
Modification to the source code must be released open source
Software can be sold, modified, or bundled with propriety software.
Are there any open source licenses that fit this bill well?
I have considered the MPL but I don't know if it requires that credit be given to authors.
CC BY-SA seems to follow your "rules": http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0/
MPL seems ok too

I need a simple version control, practical and preferably free, I count on the help?
You have come to the right place.
Go here...its free for 5 users and its in the cloud so you will never lose your code.

Otherwise there is GITHUB free for open source

And if you want a local source control there is Subversion or SVN

Which software license should one use to meet the following simple conditions:
Software is free to use
Software can be re-distributed
Software source is closed and remains my intellectual property
(copywright) and cannot be decompiled/edited.
(If possible) The software cannot be sold.
Thanks in advance.
The whole point of free software is that it can be modified to suit any user's potential requirements, so pretty much by definition, if you want point 3, your software isn't free.
Sounds like shareware. I can't point you to a license I would personally recommend, but Google has lots of results. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shareware

I want to create a dungeon and dragon based games. Basically, I want to take the rules and some basic aspects of the game. I have some old dungeon dragon handbook notes. I won't be able to recreate the entire system (version 4 of dungeon dragons) but will I be breaking any license if I do that.
I figure that the concept of dungeon and dragons has been used in RPGs for decades.
And this is kind of a general license question? Are ideas such as this copyrighted?
I know some of WOTC's stuff is part of the OGL, which means anyone can use it, that, I think, includes the d20 system, you'd have to look in the books to see what particular elements are under a private license

How would i licence my c command line program, e.g limited functionality without a serial number?
Depends what licensing means ...
Write the license text into the source code resp. show the license text when installing or starting the program.
If you want prevent users from copying the program, things get complicated, you might need some hardware dongle.
Or just make it GPL and give the source code away ...
Include a EULA (End User License Agreement) in your program which users will have to accept while installing/using your application. You can get lots of sample EULAs in Internet. Replace the Names appropriately. But remember, you are gonna do things at your own risk. Read the EULA well, modify it to suit your needs.

its not directly programming question
but i need to implement ffmpeg functionality in my application that is commercial.
what is my restrictions when using this lib/app ?
i was confused from reading there web page .
"FFmpeg is free software and is licensed under the LGPL or GPL depending on your choice of configuration options." from the homepage.
The mini-FAQ at http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html should probably answer your questions. Do you have a specific part of it you don't understand?
http://ffmpeg.org/legal.html
That sums up all relevant information quite nicely.
I would say that if you want to incorporate FFmpeg into your commercial application, you should consult a lawyer who is familiar with the laws and regulations in your area and the area in which you wish to distribute your application.
