Since it seems to be important to you to protect it, then do so. Were you looking for another justification?

I would love to assign (ie: License it) it to someone else, but that someone needs to be a proper Corporate entity so that any indemnification language in the license agreement would be valid under all circumstances.

I am not licensing my name to irresponsible children anyone who doesn't understand this simple rule of life.
