A lot of the fat in the GPL is there to help explain the license to 
non-attorneys, so it's something other than "legalese". A minimal 
version might look something like the Sleepycat license, but there are 
some pretty big loopholes in the Sleepycat license, and you'd need to 
add a few sentences to fix them.
