Your regular reminder that there is already a permissive licence that effectively prevents use by megacorps: WTFPL. Google won’t touch software licensed with it and Intel have also refused it in the past. And yes, you can add a “no warranty” disclaimer in your readme too.

_Why_ do mega corps like Google and Intel refuse to use it? There's nothing on Wikipedia [0], and the license is extremely short and clear.

From your description I expected a license that explicitly denies permissions for certain purposes or types of companies. It's very much the opposite of that! :)
