Effectively such a license would be shareware and not open source.  You
do realize that, yes?

I think you need to watch "Destroy Your Community in 5 Easy Steps",
because you're executing on 2 of the 5.

Skip ahead to Minute 31 in this video:

Quite bluntly, what you've described is not an open source license.
It's a shareware license which happens to involve some access to code.
 You shouldn't be bringing it to the OSI because what you're working on
is not an open source project.  Nor should you expect to get any
contributors or community, because you won't.
