Ultimately I care more about avoiding the increased risk of the ISC license than about saving a few lines. It would be silly if trying to make my license statement a few insignificant lines shorter prevented someone from using my open-source code.

My point was that the argument that there is increased risk is based on a flimsy premise which could equally well be applied to just about anything; there's very few pieces of commonly used legal language where someone, somewhere hasn't at one time or another argued that something phrased in "roughly the same" manner means something that you'd want to avoid.

And my point is that even going through this legal reasoning is more work than just saying, "Fuck it, I'll use the MIT license."
