Hello. My name is nicklaus yap ken yik. The reason I am sending this
message is to get my license approve under open source. Any feedback on
improvement of this license is also appreciated.

Hooyami License Version 1.0 is the same as other open source license which
give people the right to use, copy, share, distribute, modify their source
code and binary form. The only thing this license address is to make it
clear about relicensing the source code and binary form compare to other
open source license. Many other open source license do not state clearly
about this which let people to abuse it by copying the source code and
binary form and putting it in other open source project and changing the
license when there are not the original contributor or author. The effect
is most open source project cannot use that source code and binary form for
their own purpose which is the main reason of open source.
