It sounds pretty close to LGPL. But maybe have a play with TLDRLegal ( https://tldrlegal.com/ ) which is a nice way to look at and search for licenses (see the LGPL license @ https://tldrlegal.com/license/gnu-lesser-general-public-license-v2.1-(lgpl-2.1) ). Something that I only saw when I took a look at it this morning is they've now got a reverse search which will let you drop in license conditions and return licenses that match, which might also fit your bill.
