Yes, but: why?

There are enough licences out there already. Every new one means
lots of effort (look for the keyword “licence proliferation” e.g.
on the OSI site).

I can’t really say, mind you, being that I wrote The MirOS Licence.
(But I published requirements for a lawyer-written successor.)
I wouldn’t write a new licence these days any more either.
