Any license that isn't a word-for-word match to one of the "approved" licenses can potentially trigger a need for legal review, depending on the enterprise. Lawyers are expensive so quirky licenses can be a deal-killer for any customers who take licenses seriously.
If you want to be funny, put an easter egg in your code, don't mess with your license.
Easter eggs in code that break things are evil!
I don't write code for corporates, so my license is purely fictive. I cannot enforce my license but I can prevent corporates from taking my code and wrapping it into a product and selling it on for a profit. While not passing on a cent to me.
If a corporate wishes to use my code, then they are welcome to pay me a license fee or a one-off payment for a non-distributable license.
