I seriously doubt that you can write a good licence in one sentence. This is appealing, but unrealistic. Just one example: in France (and probably in most other countries with a "droit d'auteur" system), a free licence *must* enumerate exactly what rights you yield to the licencee. According to the few lawyers that studied the case (IANAL), the GPL is therefore OK, but the BSD-like licences are probably not.
