Oh dear god.

Look, switching to "source available" is fine. But for the love of c'thulu, please don't create a new, bastardized "franken-license" by adding an "appendix" to a known license. NOBODY knows what the actual meaning of the new creation is, including users, the developers, potential users, etc.

It would be much, much, much better to just change licenses to one of the many existing, well understood, well accepted, "source available" licenses that already exist.
