@SuperDicq i understand what you are saying, and to some extent i echo that sentiment, but while theoretically the most important utility of a licence is to hold up in court to defend software freedom, there are far far far more scenarios where the licence must be read and understood by people who aren't legal experts trying to learn if something is possible or not.

in my case, i needed to:

- double-check whether people can use an agpl module on an lgpl server software;
- and verify whether people can use an agpl module on the non-free version of that lgpl server software.

this was absolutely painful to research, and the fsf (for good or for ill) is very little help when it comes to any matter involving compatibility with non-free software.

a better licence wouldn't be such a pain to read.
