No, you aren't writing an open source application.  You are writing a
closed source application and trying to call it open source.  Please
don't do that.  Go ahead, write the application and get a lawyer to
write the license you want.  But it doesn't meet the open source
definition, and any indication otherwise on your part is false
marketing.
