I'm all in favour of human-comprehensible licensing and avoidance of
ambiguity, too, but c'mon: Saying "you've mandated a GUI" just because
a licence speaks of a logo and disclaimer to include on the opening
display is just daft. It's just manifestly untrue, and all that's
required to read such licences correctly is a bit of common sense about
how the law gets actually applied by real judges in real courtrooms.
Which I therefore suggest.
