No, a lawyers opinion will reflect the law. From a legal standpoint it doesn't matter how you feel about applying a license to your work, it matters what the law says about that. I'm not a lawyer, but my expectation is that the license you choose will bind anyone who chooses to use your software, and in particular will have an effect on companies that wish to use it. That may be fine and exactly what you want, but my point is just that it's not necessarily a whimsical 'statement of intent'.
