Understanding licenses, bit by bit
,----[ Quote ]
| An idea that is suggested every now and then is
| to look at software licensing and give it a
| kind of âCreative Commonsâ feel; that is,
| present the terms of the license in a pleasant
| and orderly way by means of icons. Now, weâve
| already come to the realization that calling
| something âCreative Commons licensedâ is vague
| to the point of being useless (just âsome
| rights reservedâ). Calling something âFree
| Softwareâ is also vague, but there is a rock-
| solid guarantee at the bottom: the term
| guarantees you, the recipient of the software,
| at least the Four Freedoms. Any Open Source
| software you receive usually means at least the
| Four Freedoms as well. So you need to say which
| CC, which Free Software license, which Open
| Source license.

| It's plain, though, that open licenses are both thriving and spreading, and
| this report offers a useful snapshot of just far we have come from the
| trailblazing GNU GPL.
