It looks like your license imposes the same kind of requirements as
the Lesser GNU Public License (LGPL), Mozilla Public License (MPL), or
Eclipse Public License (EPL).  Please consider using one of those
licenses instead.  They may not be *perfectly* tailored for your use case,
but every new Open Source license imposes an additional burden on the
developer community.
