What if the work is not much longer than the license itself?

If a single program is that short, you may as well use a simple all-permissive license for it, rather than the GNU GPL.

because I realized that with how BIG the GNU Public License is, you can write non some nice trivial software in that bloat range, then I thought about someone cramming an OS kernel into that FAQ's definition xD
