+Simple Public License (SimPL-2.0)
+=================================
+
+Preamble
+--------
+
+This Simple Public License 2.0 (SimPL-2.0 for short) is a plain language
+implementation of GPL 2.0.  The words are different, but the goal is the
+same - to guarantee for all users the freedom to share and change
+software.  If anyone wonders about the meaning of the SimPL, they should
+interpret it as consistent with GPL 2.0.
+
+
+Simple Public License (SimPL) 2.0
+=================================
+
+The SimPL applies to the software's source and object code and comes
+with any rights that I have in it (other than trademarks). You agree to
+the SimPL by copying, distributing, or making a derivative work of the
+software.
+
+ You get the royalty free right to:
+
+-   Use the software for any purpose;
+-   Make derivative works of it (this is called a "Derived Work");
+-   Copy and distribute it and any Derived Work.
+
+If you distribute the software or a Derived Work, you must give back to
+the community by:
+
+-   Prominently noting the date of any changes you make;
+-   Leaving other people's copyright notices, warranty disclaimers, and
+    license terms in place;
+-   Providing the source code, build scripts, installation scripts, and
+    interface definitions in a form that is easy to get and best to
+    modify;
+-   Licensing it to everyone under SimPL, or substantially similar terms
+    (such as GPL 2.0), without adding further restrictions to the rights
+    provided;
+-   Conspicuously announcing that it is available under that license.
+
+There are some things that you must shoulder:
+
+-   You get NO WARRANTIES. None of any kind;
+-   If the software damages you in any way, you may only recover direct
+    damages up to the amount you paid for it (that is zero if you did
+    not pay anything). You may not recover any other damages, including
+    those called "consequential damages." (The state or country where
+    you live may not allow you to limit your liability in this way, so
+    this may not apply to you);
+
+The SimPL continues perpetually, except that your license rights end
+automatically if:
+
+-   You do not abide by the "give back to the community" terms (your
+    licensees get to keep their rights if they abide);
+-   Anyone prevents you from distributing the software under the terms
+    of the SimPL.
+
+License for the License
+-----------------------
+
+You may do anything that you want with the SimPL text; it's a license
+form to use in any way that you find helpful.  To avoid confusion,
+however, if you change the terms in any way then you may not call your
+license the Simple Public License or the SimPL (but feel free to
+acknowledge that your license is "based on the Simple Public License").
