Out of curiosity, what is the source of the "Antiviral License?" I can't find any reference to it elsewhere on the internet.

Also of note, while I don't know if you particularly care about this, but what you're describing is not open source software. Per the OSI definition[1], software licenses which restrict against specific fields of endeavor, persons, or groups, are not open source.

Additionally, the restriction on copyleft licenses seems vague--what defines a copyleft license? Is there a distinction between strong (GPL, AGPL) and weak (MPL, LGPL) licenses? IANAL, but I feel like it might be better to just use an established license.
