What does "weak" mean for you? Your example is pretty much like "GPL"
which is not generally considered "weak".

What is it that you want to enforce when you are talking about "weak"?

I'd guess that the GPL is the best bet yet. While you probably object
to it on base of not being "human-readable", it is certainly one of
those licenses covered most extensively in discussions and FAQs, so
humans have a lot of references to consult in case of doubt (including
the legal department of the FSF).
