If you don't want to release it at all then you can do this using the GPL.
If you want to sell your software then you should consider the effects of 
reselling parts that you got for free is not sees as honest. Even if you 
are able to add some value in some way.
If you want to release under another open source license;  why not relicense 
that under the GPL since more then 70% of open source software already is 
GPL licensed which simply makes business sense.
