Hi,
rather than commenting on the several misconceptions and plain false
statements included in the upstream author's answer, I will just
recommend you to reply him something similar to the following:


"""""
May I suggest you a simple action that would make everyone happy?

Instead of using your own custom-made license, please adopt the
Expat/MIT license [1]: it is short and simple and it basically does
exactly what you want, in a legally sound way; it is also well-known
and easily recognizable in the Free Software community; nobody will
probably annoy you again with licensing issues, if you adopt that
license!

Please consider switching to the Expat/MIT license: it would really
make everyone happy.

""""""


I hope this helps.
Bye.
