I mean the original ancient vim license of the times before GPLv2+.

The vim license doesn't require that. It gives you five different
choices of how to distribute modified versions, you're describing option
(a). Option (c) is to distribute as original + patches. Option (e) is to
use GPLv2+.

[And I concur with everyone else telling you not to write your own
license.]
