I am planning on coding this page on my own,
http://community.mybb.com/thread-128893.html
Since I think that there are many people that will use it.
But I was wondering, every plugin I download has it's own license, how do I make one of those when my product is done?
I don't think it's a plugin, it's just a .php file.

You would first need to decide what type of license you want. Do you plan to sell your plugin or give it away? Do you care if others modify your code? Redistribute it?
Every license is different, but I generally stick to GNU GPL:

I would not sell it, I would give it away, maybe on myBB.com? I don't know how to get there though.

Then the GNU GPL license might be right for you. Keep in mind that it allows others to change your work and redistribute it without the need to ask permission.

You are on mybb.com right now
If you are going to release the showteam.php file with the changes that fit your needs then it must be released under the same license (LGPL) as far as I know.
You can probably write a plugin to avoid file edits, if you do so then you can apply any license to it as long as you don't use code that is under a not compatible license.
