Wait, so people can’t know the license until AFTER They’ve downloaded it? Also, why can’t you just state what license it’s under? That’s all I’m asking. Why do I have to download it? If it’s a custom license, you should at least make it public. Also, unless you’re a lawyer, you probably shouldn’t be writing your own license, as it can be easy to create implications you did not intend to have, or leave certain things vague.
Also, a custom license defeats one of the main purposes of standardized licenses like Creative Commons: people know what they mean without needing to read pages of legal text. If you want to allow commercial use but prohibit resale, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 might be close to what you want, though “resale” itself is vague.
