Unfortunately this license does not fit the requirements of the Debian project - the Debian Free Software Guidelines (DFSG) [1]. It wouldn't allow us or a user to modify the source - not even to fix a typo or to create a translation. [2] contains a list of acceptable licenses for the Debian project. I don't know your discussion, so I cannot make a suggestion (why not an BSD license or an MIT/X license?). Why do you want to forbid derivatives works? In question, I suggest to continue this dicussion on the debian-legal mailing list [3].
