Then it is not Open Source.  Period.  The Open Source Definition is
there to preserve the right to "fork".  

As for the bit about only the copyright holder making money from it,
that's also contrary to Open Source.  

It sounds like you have a very specific sort of shareware license in
mind, but it most certainly won't meet the Open Source Definition.
