This is always in my thoughts when considering any Open Source license.

We can fail these people in two ways:
     1. Provide them with a license that they might not understand.
     2. Provide them with a license that won't hold up in court.

The second damages them more. The first can be solved with explanation 
separate from the license.

     Thanks
