[License-discuss] License which requires watermarking? (Attribution Provision)

[ldr ldr]

I have noticed that a lot of the discussion occurring is on section 7
of the GPL license; so I feel the need to alleviate those concerns and
tell you outright that what I am considering for my SaaS Startup.

I.e.: FreeBSD license with two added provisions:

1. "Badgeware" (as you call it) requirement, i.e.: that every page of
the site and mobile-apps' have a copyright area which contains:
        "Powered by [project name](github.com/projectname)" or
"Powered by [new project name]() a fork of [project
name](github.com/projectname"
2. A carefully worded closure of the: "ASP loophole"

Given these conditions, which license is most aligns to my
requirements? - And would it be considered "open-source"?
