I appreciate the feeling. My personal favorite is the WTFPL. :)

However, you are trading verbosity in one particular reference file
for increased obscurity and adoption friction for the library as a
whole.

They may be more verbose, but MIT and BSD3 are very well understood
and accepted, and for the audience for whom they are intended,
verbosity is just another term for "completeness".
