I don't trust any legal document that actually has any need for a separate "plain English" version. The one thing that will change my mind on that is if I hear from a reliable source that "plain English" versions can be legally binding and take precedence over the legalese version when there's a discrepancy. I am a big fan of zlib/libpng though. And I like MIT/new-BSD, too. Not exactly thrilled about Boost, but I am ok with it. It's far more understandable than (L)GPL, at least.
