[ubuntu-us-ma] A Free (Senpaga) Software License

Folks:

I decided to see if you guys had an answer for me here.

We're doing a specific project at work and we're licensing it as "Free 
Software."  What we want to do is license it as Both Free (Senpaga) and 
Free (Libera) Software.

The web site content, documentation, and art is being licensed under the 
CC BY-NC-SA US 3.0 license. Interestingly enough no software license I 
was able to find had an equiv. NA clause to it. It seemed that the 
philosophy of Free Software was such that you had to have the "freedom" 
to be able to take the software, package it, and sell it.

While I can understand that from a philosophical perspective, is there a 
software license in existence that prohibits you from selling the 
software for profit?
