"Sadly, most end-users care remarkably little about licenses - clicking
through them without even reading; that is something we should try to
fix."

It's true from two points of view.  They don't care about reading them,
they don't want to.  And they care even less about adhering to them.
They'll steal software, copy it, and hack it.

I think they only way anybody can do about improving licensing is to not
put three-page contracts into the license.  I'm not a lawyer, I can't
follow half the stuff put in them, nor can most people.  Most conditions
cannot be enforced, anyway.  And I'm sick of trying to read lengthy
documents with a keyhole view of them (most licenses are presented to
you in a small scrolling box, rather than letting you use most of the
screen to read them).
