Not using a standard license but rather a bespoke one is a major legal roadblock.

The presence of use restrictions does also disqualify it from being Open Source (OSI trademark) or Free Software (GNU/FSF).

If a standard license was adopted instead, such as MIT (permissive and I believe well-aligned with the intent of the author), then any concern would go away.
