Please don't create your own software license. There are more than
enough to choose from already.

If you insist on defining your own license, then please don't ask the
Octave community for a general legal opinion. This is completely out of
scope here, you are asking the wrong audience. Talk to the people at the
FSF Licensing team [1], the Open Source Initiative [2], and/or the
Debian Legal mailing list [3].
