Just a short note: Please do not!!! See David Wheeler's article
http://www.dwheeler.com/essays/gpl-compatible.html why this is a bad
idea.

First it is a very bad idea to write your own licenses (see "6. License
proliferation considered harmful"). Second this change would make the
license incompatible with the GPL (which should be obviated even if you
do not agree with the GPL).

Best wishes,
Matthias
