new licensing model

Quoting Nikolai (n_k at au.ru):

Table-pounding rhetoric will not change the fact that you've proposed 
to abuse the term to mean something antithetical to its definition.  
I hope you don't think you're the first to think of that tactic:  Quite
a number have tried it.  Most were much smoother than you.  And the answer 
has generally been polite, but has invariably been "no".

So:  Your "new licensing model" is yet another proprietary shareware thing,
and not open source.  Deal.  Have a great day, be happy, make lots of
money -- but, sorry, Nikolai, it's just not open source.  Bye!
