I don't think you read what I wrote carefully. I was using the word conceptual to separate the general meaning of the license with its legal implementation, which I fully agree is (probably needlessly) long and tedious (hence why I mentioned Fontana's recent simple version as a nice thing). Conceptually, though, it is simple. Do whatever you want with this code, as long as you make the source code of anything using it available under the same conditions, and don't claim you wrote bits you didn't.
