Open Source Licenses Compared

with one comment

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.
