It's a widely-known license so if you tell someone "it is GPL3 licensed" then most likely she will understand the gist of what that permission implies, without needing to pore over the GPL text in its entirety. As for special cases and niche issues, and why things in licenses are a certain way, that's one of the reasons for this SE, but you need to ask specifically about the specific thing in the license which is impenetrable for you, and then someone knowledgeable can shed light on it. | |

Also, it's not clear what the whole 77-word phrase "released under this license or ... compatible with the GPL v3" is supposed to mean. On the face of it, "released under this license or this license and [an open source license]" means exactly the same thing as "released under this license"; since you wrote 73 more words after that, you must have meant something different, but it's not clear what. | |
