I would just like to say that I fully agree with Ben's comment: license
proliferation should be avoided in (almost) all cases.

What's worse in the present case is that the proposed license is
definitely non-free and has countless issues...

Hence, I can do nothing but reiterate Ben's recommendation: please
adopt an existing well-known and widely-used free software license!
