So you want to restrict how the user can use the software? For this you will 
need a legally binding contract with the user. My suggestion is to forego any 
semblance of publication and make all transactions private. Don't let any 
user aquire the software before they have explictly assented to the license 
and registered for it, and you have verified that they are legally empowered 
to enter into contractual obligations (ei, not a minor).

But given the nature of your software, I don't understand why you need to 
restrict usage to begin with. Can you elaborate? If you are concerned about 
liability, wouldn't a disclaimer attached to the copyright be sufficient?
