Hi Stuart,
Can I suggest that you give your new license a name to clearly
distinguish it from other licenses, particularly the ALv2?
+1 to this suggestion…
Downstream users of your open source products need to describe the
licenses of their dependencies and they don't have an easy way to refer
to your license. My primary concern is that they could end up creating
their own name for your license that is confusingly similar to the ALv2.
Something like the "Disney Open Source License, version 1" maybe?
…but -1 to this suggestion, unless they submit the license & it's
approved as an open source license (which I suspect it may have a good
chance of doing, unless people push back due to license proliferation
concerns).
"Disney Open License v1.0" would accomplish the same goal w/o muddying
the waters about what is/isn't open source.
