This is an interesting license, but I'm not trying to force small businesses or hobbyists to only use GPL for their project.

But why not? If you are a hobbyist you want to contribute to the community and keep this community growing. This is exactly what this license was created for. Only if you want to hide the code you will suffer from such license.

I don't mind small businesses having closed source code while using my tool. I just don't want to do free labor for companies that can easily afford to pay me for the benefits.
