What is the best license for my open source project?

I am a web developer and I do not have enough knowledge about software licenses. I want to publish some of my work, and I need to choose a license for them. My software product is free of cost, but I have some restrictions on the distribution / modification of the code.

  • It's free (but donations are acceptable).
  • Source code is available. You can use, customize or edit / delete the code (if the basic nature of the software does not change).
  • You do not have permission to change the product name.
  • There are several libraries and classes that are located in a folder named "myname". You do not have permission to rename "myname".
  • You can make any additions or changes to my project, to the original source repository (the link to the author’s name / email address / site will be indicated in the credit file).
  • You cannot remove the original author name from the license.
  • You can place the license file or license code anywhere in the project file or folder.
  • You can distribute this code as freeware or commercial software.

Are all these restrictions valid? Given these limitations, which license should I use?

My main goal is to make the product more popular thanks to the free source code, while the original author is not ignored. The product is open.
