I seriously doubt that you can write a good licence in one
sentence. This is appealing, but unrealistic. Just one example: in
France (and probably in most other countries with a "droit d'auteur"
system), a free licence *must* enumerate exactly what rights you yield
to the licencee. According to the few lawyers that studied the case
(IANAL), the GPL is therefore OK, but the BSD-like licences are
probably not.
