IANAL, but:

The definition of a "gift" (vs. income), in US law, is essentially,
"Person A gives Person B something, without getting something of
comparable value in return."  A gift is never considered income,
although it can be taxed (via a gift tax) if it's a hard asset (like
property) worth more than a certain amount of money. Donations are
considered gifts, and never income.

You might want to consider rewording your license, both for clarity and
to actually protect you from what you want it to protect you from.
