I have a different alternative: use an existing OSI approved license. If you can't use an existing license, then your first step should not be to write a license, but instead to write to the list and explain clearly why no existing license will work for your situation. People on the list will then say one of the following: 1) actually, license X satisfies your needs; or 2) you're right, there is no current license for your needs, but what you want to do would be OSI approved, so go ahead and write a license; or 3) you're right, there is no current license for your needs, because what you want to do would not be OSI approved.
