Could you please explain how it is incompatible with popular
copyleft licenses?

You can my code and use it in GPL and MPL code without any problems.
The reverse case (going from GPL or MPL to mine) is where the
incompatibilities arise, and I am fine with that.

I acknowledge your reasons. However, I am not trying to make The
Next Great License and impose it upon the world. Instead, this is
just a way for me, an immensely insignificant person, to attain
peace of mind about my immensely insignificant software which might
never see the light of day. :-)

Thanks for your consideration.
