Mistakes can always be made and there seems little difference between having to change the copyright notice and having to change the page content (to point to correct URL) to me. > I'd like for it to be as simple to use as the 1-line "verbatum-only" license > which GNU webpages use: [...] That "simple" one is loaded on particular interpretations of concepts such as verbatim copying. You can get simpler if you really want to be permissive: Anti-copyright: The author of this work waives all claim of copyright (economic and moral) in this work. but if you want to put link-back conditions and other restrictions on modification, you're not going to get there.
