So I've finished working on an include for a game and I am wondering how to release it on github. I know there is some license thing involved but other than that I know nothing. My include also has some functions from SRL6. How would I credit those?
Well the easiest way is to use a program called GIT. This allows you to easily update the include files by just updating the files on your computer. I personally prefer googlecode as it has a much better raw text format and you can get an auto updater to work with it. To give credits just do as they do in any srl include, give the person who made it/ did some if of credit right about the function. If you need any help just Skype me, its right below my profile pic and it says I'm offline but I'm not :) Good luck!

Ok, I have it on GitHub now, but I want to have some sort of license that will "officially" prevent people from selling it. Would it be ok if I copied the SRL 6 License and adapted it?

Probably? But you'd want to ask someone like
@Wizzup? to be certain.
Well the way these open source hoster's work are they let you choose the type of license you want
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html. That is what srl uses and the reflection include…GNU GPL v3. You should already have chosen the license type, and that "should" protect your code.

I found a license I liked and stuck it in my include as a text file. Working on my SRL member app now :) Thanks

Just to comment, a full month late - sorry for that - the GPL is a nice license
because it does not allow companies to take the source and make it "private". In
addition, if they do decide to use it, they must make everything that uses the
code GPLv3 too, thus liberating the code.
If you do not want people to "sell" your code, the GPL is usually safe, although
people can still take it and sell it. I think you probably want a Creative
Commons license then, those are much more restrictive.
