I don't see why they can't just follow the example of open source licenses. GPL is powerful and complicated, but when you see something is GPL you know what you're getting into because you've seen it before. There are a handful of well-known policies that have varying levels of generosity, and anyone can always make up a new one -- but if they do it's a bit of a red flag and people will dig in to find out what it's about.
The problem with current policies is only partly that they're complicated, it also has a lot to do with them being snowflakes too.
