The only reason someone would want to make a license is so they can
sue/threaten people for not following the license rules. At best this is
pointless since Bitcoin cannot be controlled, and at worst it will result in a
group of people using coercion against the community to gain profits.
There is no legal ground for anyone to make a Bitcoin license, it simply
wouldn't stand in court. Not even the MIT license is valid or meaningful. But I
wouldn't be surprised if people tried scaring people with a license even if
they knew it was invalid.
It's actually disgusting that you wrote what people are allowed and not
allowed to do with Bitcoin. Pure centralization ideology. Maybe go work for the
government and make regulations instead of trying to centralize one of the only
de-centralized things left on the planet.

Subject: [bitcoin-dev] Open Block Chain Licence, BIP[xxxx] Draft
Hello,
We believe the network requires a block chain licence to supplement the
existing MIT Licence which we believe only covers the core reference client
software.
Replacing or amending the existing MIT Licence is beyond the scope of this
draft BIP.
Rationale and details of our draft BIP for discussion and evaluation are here:
