Do you wish to retain all the clauses you have already? For instance, I think it is impossible to prohibit people to profit from your work by selling it if you want a Free Software license. That is a right that is very fundamental to all licenses.

It is very similar to the MIT and the 3-clause BSD license. The BSD license is probably the second most used Free Software license on the internet (after the GPL).

I suppose our definitions of 'legible' differ :-)

BSD license.
The original BSD license used to have a 4th clause requiring products using BSD licensed code to 'promote' Berkeley, but that was dropped by Berkeley. What they now have on the OSI website is the 3-clause BSD license, but more and more people choose to drop the third clause too.
