No. The IDPL requires that anyone who changes anything you've done
must publish those changes. You (or others who fork your code) may
incorporate the published changes in your code. You can protect the
name of your project as a trademark, but you can't keep someone else
from forking the project. Allowing others to fork and modify the code
is one of the principles of open source

3. Derived Works

The license must allow modifications and derived works, and must allow
them to be distributed under the same terms as the license of the
original software.

Rationale: The mere ability to read source isn't enough to support
independent peer review and rapid evolutionary selection. For rapid
evolution to happen, people need to be able to experiment with and
redistribute modifications.
