And the GPL has less legal garbage? One of the goals of the EUPL was that it can be understood by laymen, which doesn’t really hold true.
Those “simple” licenses like the MIT license don’t work in the EU btw, since you cannot completely renounce liability or copyright.

You may be right about liability, I don’t know. But public domain is a thing in the EU and it applies to expired copyright, things that cannot be copyrighted, explicit attribution etc. Besides, the MIT license does not renounce copyright, on the contrary.

Didn’t know about liability, you are refering to this recent change? https://www.ibanet.org/European-Product-Liability-Directive-liability-for-software
