+Simple Public License (SimPL)
+
+Preamble
+This Simple Public License 2.0 (SimPL 2.0 for short) is a plain language
+implementation of GPL 2.0. The words are different, but the goal is the same -
+to guarantee for all users the freedom to share and change software. If anyone
+wonders about the meaning of the SimPL, they should interpret it as consistent
+with GPL 2.0.
+Simple Public License (SimPL) 2.0
+The SimPL applies to the software's source and object code and comes with any
+rights that I have in it (other than trademarks). You agree to the SimPL by
+copying, distributing, or making a derivative work of the software.
+
+You get the royalty free right to:
+Use the software for any purpose;
+Make derivative works of it (this is called a "Derived Work");
+Copy and distribute it and any Derived Work.
+If you distribute the software or a Derived Work, you must give back to the
+community by:
+Prominently noting the date of any changes you make;
+Leaving other people's copyright notices, warranty disclaimers, and license
+terms in place;
+Providing the source code, build scripts, installation scripts, and interface
+definitions in a form that is easy to get and best to modify;
+Licensing it to everyone under SimPL, or substantially similar terms (such as
+GPL 2.0), without adding further restrictions to the rights provided;
+Conspicuously announcing that it is available under that license.
+There are some things that you must shoulder:
+You get NO WARRANTIES. None of any kind;
+If the software damages you in any way, you may only recover direct damages up
+to the amount you paid for it (that is zero if you did not pay anything). You
+may not recover any other damages, including those called "consequential
+damages." (The state or country where you live may not allow you to limit
+your liability in this way, so this may not apply to you);
+The SimPL continues perpetually, except that your license rights end
+automatically if:
+You do not abide by the "give back to the community" terms (your
+licensees get to keep their rights if they abide);
+Anyone prevents you from distributing the software under the terms of the
+SimPL.
+License for the License
+You may do anything that you want with the SimPL text; it's a license form to
+use in any way that you find helpful. To avoid confusion, however, if you
+change the terms in any way then you may not call your license the Simple
+Public License or the SimPL (but feel free to acknowledge that your license is
+"based on the Simple Public License").
