Simple Public License, draft

[Chris F Clark]

I don't know if this will help, but the licenses I have seen with
non-compete clauses say exactly what the user's aren't allowed to
build.  If your tool is an "interpreter that runs servlets", then say
the users aren't allowed to build "interpreters that run servlets"
using your sources.  That should make it quite clear what competing
software is.  If you have several things you want to list, how about
using an appendix, and say the sources cannot be used to build the
items listed in the appendix.

Of course, the one thing I find complicating about this, is that you
allow modifications in a previous paragraph.  It is not clear that the
two paragraphs do not conflict.  Whie I understand that legally there
may be a way of resolving that, as a naive user who wanted to make
modifications, I would not know how to resolve that conflict, unless
the license was more explicit as to which paragraph had precedence.
