Have you checked OSI licenses? The last time I looked for a suitable license, I was already puzzled by how difficult it was to effectively "dual license" between commercial and non-c. users. Look at the maze here: http://opensource.org/
I would directly write OSI or even the FSF for the needs you haev, to see if there is a way to incorporate them.
I think that it is nice to have such enterprise software open-sourced, however I think it is quite bad publicity if a "bad" or "fake" open-source license gets used (wthink of the original Apple and Sun licenses) because it may anger many and give space to critique.
