Not An FBI Agent

Hello! I made my own license that I wish to submit for review. I have
submitted the license in a text file on the e-mail, and it complies with
the open-source standards. No projects currently use it other than the
projects that I am currently making, which are in private GitHub
repositories. I am also the license steward. The name of the license is
_Zeppelin Public License__ Version 1.0_.
The gap that the project is to fill the hole between permissive and
weak-copyleft, as I believe that while both are good, I prefer something
in the middle. I believe that the most similar license to the Zeppelin
Public License is the Apache License, and comparing and contrasting it
shows that both the Apache License and the Zeppelin Public Licenses are
permissive, both support the open-source movement, both support the
rights of software creators, both support the rights of users, and both
support the rights of derivative works. Some differences are that the
Apache is extremely verbose whilst the Zeppelin Public License is
shorter and simpler, as well as being a little bit more permissive.
Unfortunately, due to my age, I could not get a lawyer to review the
license, however after reading it a dozen of times, it seems legally
plausible.
Thank you!
