Open Source License Comparison

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the compare-and-contrast dept.

rbb writes "Bryce Wilcox-O'Hearn, aka Zooko, has put together a simple chart that in just a few lines displays the characteristics of each of the most popular Open Source licenses. The table, which is currently in version 0.8.3, makes it easy to see in a glance how the licenses compare to one another." Easily digestible information - good for PHB [?] s.

    Hi folks. The License Quick Ref is definitely a work in progress. I am no lawyer and there are a lot of question marks and probably a lot of inaccuracies or other bugs.

    Please e-mail <zooko@zooko.com> with suggestions for improvement. Thanks!

    If you send me flames, I may elect to post them to my web log. :-)
