A license that is 7 A4 pages doesn't look like one that is "simple to 
read and understand".

Also, from a cursory look, it doesn't seem to require to retain 
copyright notices and the license in redistributed source code. There 
may be other significant differences, which is difficult to learn 
quickly because of that license volume and language.
