The FSF today released version 3 of the GNU GPL, the popular free software license. "Since we founded the free software movement, over 23 years ago, the free software community has developed thousands of useful programs that respect the user's freedom. The programs are in the GNU/Linux operating system, as well as personal computers, telephones, Internet servers, and more. Most of these programs use the GNU GPL to guarantee every user the freedom to run, study, adapt, improve, and redistribute the program," said Richard Stallman, founder and president of the FSF. This article has some interesting replies from the BSD community (right in the middle).

In the name of justice, the sharks craft a language that is unintelligible to the common person.
Give them a single sheet of paper, a 10 point font, (A4 or 8.5x11, whichever) and tell them to use one side in the Ernest Hemingway fashion, or go away.
The legal system and these licenses, themselves, need a dose of practical freedom.
