It seems a bit eager about the GPL. I'd much prefer if it gave equal time to the GPL and the BSD camps. Better yet, recommend the two licenses without trying to summarize them (people ARE supposed to read licenses before applying them, after all!), and just state the advantages of using standard licenses: they're better understood by the community, they've been written by actual lawyers, people don't have to spend time figuring them out before using the program or helping with development, and they make it easier to share code between your project and others.
