I'll take a look at that license. Just one question: I don't think I can add a term to the Apache 2.0 license, should that be in the license notice? I've read that the notice is like a complement of the standard license. But I'm not sure if there I can put more restrictions than the ones in the license.

"I don't think I can add a term to the Apache 2.0 license" - why not? You can always write a license text for your software saying "this program published under Apache 2.0 license, with the following additional restrictions: ...". I agree to @StephenC in that if you need a license which holds in court, you should ask a lawyer specialised in copyright law to work out the exact wording. However, even that will give you a 100% guarantee not ending up with a self contradictory text ;-)

You cannot however add an additional restriction and continue to call it the Apache 2.0 license.

@whatisname: That is obvious, if the Op wants different license terms than Apache 2.0, it becomes a different license.
