Well, all the copyleft ones.<br>
<br>
Which, more than half of the "Popular/Strong Community" licenses are: <br>
<a href="https://opensource.org/licenses?categories=popular-strong-community" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://opensource.org/licenses?categories=popular-strong-community</a><br>
<br>
[I'm not sure what "very simple" means in this context but if you're <br>
going to make a license copyleft you tend to have to put more language <br>
in then a non-copyleft license]<br>
