I've got a little project I'd like to publish on sourceforge. Now I see,
there are quite a few of licence types. My license should include the
following:
- The user doesn't has to release source, even if he modifies it
- The user can make money from it, but I must be mentioned in the source of
his app.

That's all. Which license can be considered?
What license would you use?

That sounds like a text book case of the BSD-style license.
You might want to check out:
<http://www.opensource.org/licenses/> for some more information.

That's the text-book 'traditional' BSD license. More recently people are adopting versions which don't require credit. So make sure you dig up an older copy, one with the appropriate clause still in it.
