This "license" is incredibly ambiguous and inadequate, so much so that
calling it "open source" is a bit of a stretch.

If you want to actually have your code be useful to people, use an
existing established (e.g. OSI/FSF certified) license so that people can
actually use it in projects without worry. Vanity licenses are just a
pain for everybody; using them is the opposite of beneficent.

Copyright licenses are not the place for statements of intent,
hand-wavey language, and appeals "common sense". Put that stuff
elsewhere and use a license that actually does the job of a licence.
