If you lay out every option and nook and cranny... Yes, it is bloody hard.
If you KISS, it may be intelligible for someone.

I think I was looking for "How to Develop on GPLv3 Software for Dummies" :).

I realize that defining a simple path to success is harder... but it is
more useful in a sense.  It tells people "Hey, if we check these boxes,
we're going to be ok."

I *do* believe there is a set of boxes that CAN be checked.  The goal is to
have people comply with the license... so why not teach them a practical
HOW?

Just something to think on,
