This is an old debate, but the fact of the matter is that legal language is
the way it is because it needs to be. Legalese is complex and subtle, but
it is very precise. Common English is a horribly imprecise language, you
simply have too many differences of opinion if you write your license in
plain English. That's bad for everyone.
Just because you don't understand why we need legal language doesn't mean we
don't need it.
