The most likely and common result of releasing an open source project is that everyone ignores you. If they notice, you may get a question about license once in a while which you can ignore.

Take a look at any show HN where someone releases something with a mildly unique license that includes something that prevents big companies from charging for the software, the open source warriors come out of the woodwork. Every single time the discussion gets completely hijacked and moves away from what the software does to "why don't you stick to the ideologically approved pure licenses?" (btw approved by OSI who are funded by Google and MS).
