The GPL big (about 11 pages), and convoluted. It is difficult to figure out your responsibilities. For example, if you convey a verbatim copy of a work under Section 4[1], then you are also bound by terms from 5 other sections.

Restructure the license into a section for each right (as below), and for each right, list the associated responsibilities.

- Receiving a license

- Using the program

- Conveying source (verbatim and modified)

- Conveying binaries

- Conveying linked AGPL works

Details are posted in a child comment.
