I cannot tell you how many court cases wallow in chaos caused
by non-lawyers thinking things like this, and writing down
what they think are simple straight-forward agreements that
turn out to be anything but.

You will not find one, any ten line digest of a license
agreement is going to be full of confusion, misleading
implications, and errors.

I am sure there are people who would like to find a 4 page
booklet clearly describing all of Ada.

If you don't clearly understand the GPL, how can you possibly
make the judgment that your license (which I have not read)
is compatible with the GPL?
