> a modified form of the MIT License

hahahaha dude. you just drastically limited your market. lawyers have already vetted the other licenses, but now anyone who uses your code in any official capacity MUST hire a lawyer to dig into just what modifications you're talking about and what the implications are. Thus, a non-starter. On top of that, if you made these changes yourself, it's very likely you missed something (which could also increase YOUR liability!) and need to hire a lawyer yourself to review it. So consider heading back over to https://choosealicense.com/ and pick something more restrictive than MIT if you want. For example, I used EUPL 1.2 for mine.
