I am having trouble finding a benefit that would come from fixing it, 
that we don't already have from short-and-sweet licenses like BSD.
What you would to be "as good as" BSD would be a public domain 
declaration coupled with a covenant not-to-sue that extends to the 
patent claims of the dedicator that are necessary to utilize the work as 
it was dedicated. And a warranty disclaimer to protect the donor.

It ends up not being shorter nor simpler.

     Thanks
