I am creating a php/js framework for personal use mostly, but as it's very practical, I am also considering using it in my workplace. Although I am concerned someone could just alter the files and declare it as "company property" and I will be bound not to use it for my own projects anymore (has been done in the past), I'd like to open source it, however I am new to this.
Which would be a good license that permits people to take parts of the code and reuse it, adapt or expand it in their own way -I don't mind anyone doing this- but prohibit redistribution and branding of the whole intact work with modifications in the copyright header?

Re: Best open source licensing for a personal framework
I don't think there is any open source. To automate your licenses you can use something like spbas or PHPLicengine. They are a php license management system. You can try their trial version to get an idea to implement your own.
