    The principles represented by the GPL are fairly simple.
    The complexity arise because the GPL  strives to acheive those
principles  in a legally enforceable manner.

    The BSD/ISC License aspires to acheive less, and presumes that a
clear statement of principles, is the equivalent
    of legally enforceable.
   
    Yet despite its clarity and simplicity, It is still atleast as
misrepresented and misunderstood as the GPL.
