The license must not restrict anyone from making use of the program in a specific field of endeavor. For example, it may not restrict the program from being used in a business, or from being used for genetic research.
This doesn't tackle the problem it claims to (livelihoods in free software) and misidentifies where the burden of license compliance falls (big companies are often among the most reluctant to use free software).
