Default Writing my own license...

Remarking from this post and realizing that the MIT License is indeed "too loose" (Thanks VI), I've decided to write my own license to release my own software under.

All are free to use this license with their software, provided that this license has reached version 1.0.0.

Here is the license in full, I'm looking for any advice on modifying it.

A link to the current version of the license.

Code:
== The Decaf Productions License ==

The Decaf Productions License
<http://decafproductions.com/license.php>

COPYRIGHT (C) <year> <copyright holder(s)>
08/17/2009

Forward:
Open source software is founded on the principle of free and open software creation
along with equal distribution rights.  This license aims to describe fair and equal rights
to individual people, businesses and organizations for distribution of their software and
any applicable source, documentation and/or documentation.

Terms:
"3rd party" - Any applicable author(s) of software, source code or any documentation
that complies with this license and increases the overall experience with this software.

"this license" - The current applicable Decaf Productions License.

"software" - Any version of "completed" or "distributable" copy of the source code.

"source code" - The applicable or fundamental lines of code that make the software 
perform its specified task(s).

License:
This license hereby grants any individual person(s) full access to modify, distribute, copy,
use, publish, and merge any part of the containing software without limitation free of 
charge.  This license denies the right of any non author to sell, profit from and alter the 
software under the restraints of another license or a non applicable version of this license.

Any access to any of the source code attached with this license may never be granted
because of a monetary gain to the distributor.  The attached source code must be distributed
at no cost to any recipient.  However, any additional source code added by a 3rd party may
be licensed at the discretion of its author(s) and released to another party at monetary gain
of that 3rd party's author(s).

The software, source code or any documentation released by the author(s) of the original 
software, source code, or any documentation may never be released under the restraints of
another license.  The only option for change of limitations is to release all of the software, 
source code, or any documentation into the public domain.

The original author(s) of the software, source code, or and documentation cannot be held 
responsible for any effects of the software, this includes: "acts of god", natural disasters, 
mis configured software and hardware, unexpected changes of website traffic, outages,
maintenance, altered software, source code, and any documentation attached.

This software, source code and any documentation is provided in the format of the original
author(s) and must be maintained in that format, extra 3rd party additions can be added 
but only if they maintain the current structure of the software, source code and any 
documentation to the requirement of the original author(s).

By installing, using, changing, or adapting any existing software which is associated with the
software, source code and any documentation released under this license you agree to all of
this licenses terms, conditions, requirements, and you agree to uphold this license to your 
highest availability. 

v0.0.2
