I second that opinion. As a developer, I take great pains in knowing how the 
software I create is licensed. But as a user all I care about is whether it's 
open source. Just a couple of weeks ago I burned a CD of miscellaneous 
packages, source and tidbits for a friend without a broadband connection. I 
would not have done that if I had to read 1000 licenses to make sure I wasn't 
violating any copyrights.
