Just don't ask anybody too young, the generation who computes on smart phones and tablets doesn't even know what a file structure is.
The "it's a trap" moment for me:
You acknowledge that we and our licensees, as content creators ourselves, might independently come up with content similar to something you create. If you have a claim that we breached this provision, or that one of our licensees did in connection with content they licensed from us:
(a) Any such claim will be brought only as a lawsuit for breach of contract, and only for money damages. You expressly agree that money damages are an adequate remedy for such a breach, and that you will not seek or be entitled to injunctive relief.
(b) In any such lawsuit, you must show that we knowingly and intentionally copied your Licensed Work. Access and substantial similarity will not be enough to prove a breach of this Section 3.
This basically says "We can still steal your work and sell it without giving you a dime, but if you want to object to that then you can't say so on social media or in the news, you have to do it in court (and in a particular way), and if you don't have the cash to take us on then you need to shut the hell up or it's going to be YOU that's in breach of contract and we can pull our permission for you to use the license."
Here's their rationale:
"Prop 30: Stop the Lyft Tax Grab
Increases income taxes to pay for zero emission vehicle subsidies and infrastructure improvements. It is funded by the Lyft Corporation to get taxpayers to pay for improvements. The tax increase side-steps current law that requires half of any new revenues to go to public education. It also doesn’t raise any additional money for health care and other essential services."
In general they're against taxes that are too specific because you can't reallocate where the funds go after the fact.

If you have to understand the concepts anyways, why is text worse than a graphical set up? You can't really avoid learning syntax this way if you want to write anything actually complicated.
