Obtaining critical mass with a community based, open source project is 
difficult enough -- you can see the very few
examples that are successful and still alive after a couple of years.  I'm not 
saying you're wrong or right, but if
you make the path more narrow, your chances of success -- i.e. reaching 
milestones on the path and getting others to
follow you -- decrease.

Can you show some examples of other *successful* open source / open hardware 
projects where the license has this clause?
