Without inserting a single double space anywhere? How is that possible?

  If it's not replicating the original license 1:1, but rewording it slightly, it's easy: pick the right words, and add some "filler" words where needed.

    Look at the second paragraph under "How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs". That section is very different, with numbered spacers inserted into it. I'm sure that's some sort of joke or reference, though.

    It's easy but it also means this is not the GPL despite what its text claims. It's a new license and may behave differently because some of the words that were changed have specific legal meaning.

      It is, in fact, neither easy, nor necessary, nor useful. Which is why it is the product of a Tom7 SIGBOVIK paper.

        That's entirely fair, it's just important to maintain that context in case someone stumbles upon it and takes it at face value thinking it's legally equivalent.
