I made an open source license that you may be interested in. It's basically the AGPL + copyleft for _services_ that are dependent on your service, as well as build tools. You can check it out here: https://github.com/candiddev/cpl.

That's kind of like saying "I have a fork of bash that you may be interested in". It fails the familiarity test, and that's really important.

Does that really matter in the context of a license though? The terms are the terms, if folks don't agree with the terms they can negotiate different ones or not use it.
There isn't a lot of people thinking, gee, I want an unfamiliar license, so you're going out on a limb by showing someone a new one. Just like if you made a fork of bash with some new feature and were like, "here, use this".
If you want your software to be used, yes it matters very much.
