Open Source Licenses Compared
Filed under: Uncategorized. Tags: opensource.
Just came across this comparison of open source licenses from OpenFoundry.org.
Almost plain english, and provides a nice at-a-glance table of key features and restrictions of the various licenses. They compare the 10 most popular licenses, as used by projects on SourceForge.net
This should be a useful companion to the listing of actual OSI-Approved licenses from the Open Source Intiative.


link is dead, this is probably a newer version (found on OpenFoundry.org)
