Okay, so let’s say I have coded a bunch of modules for a private site and I opensource them on my website, but do NOT want them to be used anywhere else without my permission. What license would be good? o.o

That's not open source ;-)

But the words you want are probably "All Rights Reserved", and just to make plain what that means, "Use by _____ only" too.

http://choosealicense.com is a pretty good site, explains some use cases and requirements when picking a license. (I don't know of any license that requires permission to use - seems like usually someone just slaps GPLv2 on things they want 'shared' but not necessarily used/copied.)

Yeah that's not open source.

You can have a look at creative commons. Or just All Rights Reserved.
