Well, the fact is that copyright law, the european database directive, and
international intellectual property treaties are f***ing bloated and
confusing.
The goal of copyleft licenses (and the CC suite of licenses) is to simplify
all that... even if that means that the internal nuts and bolts have to deal
with the inmensely complex laws.
