You might like to review the archives of the BitKeeper Licensing
list at bitmover.com. Similarly, he is not attempting an OpenSource
license, and he shares some of your business concerns.
FWIW: I've been using BitKeeper for almost a year know both
professionally (Trillian, like Linux/PPC uses BitKeeper), and for my
own files (my entire home directory is under BK, all my projects are
under BK etc). Good stuff.

I would be tempted to split this into two licenses: one for
commercial users and one for non-commercial. Review the discussions
on BKL in regard to the unrestricted admin license as versus the
base logging-enforced BKL license for soem of the arguments and
reasons why.
