Hi,

The wording of an anti-DRM clause is a very delicate matter.
The clause in your license looks much too broad. For example, simply
setting up a password-protected Web site (which can be done for very
legitimate reasons: privacy, bandwidth limitation, etc.) could be
considered incompatible with your license.
This issue has also been raised concerning the anti-DRM clause in the
Creative Commons licenses.

See what debian-legal had to say about the Creative Commons anti-DRM
clause here:

By the way, you may want to take a look at the Free Art License, which
is available in French, English as well as Italian:

Antoine.
