First of all, thank you for your detailed response.
I mostly agree on everything you're saying. Just a detail:
"If they post their code with that license AND your file containing your description of the license’s meaning and implications AND there is some subtlety of copyright law in some region somewhere around the world that you didn’t appreciate then in the best case that package is now licensed under two licenses"
Would be useful a, somehow, disclaimer that says "This Legalfile thing isn't valuable by itself, as it's just a simplified representation of a more complex license which exists in the same folder".
I, of course, understand the overwhelming complexity of laws, thought on this as a tool to say "This package is FOR SURE not suitable for your current goals", as a tool to ease some things up, but always be thought as an assistant that provides useful information, but may not have and understand everything.
