licenses tell you what the license authors were scared of

• If you're scared of having your name dragged through the mud, then the BSD license will seem better.
• If you're scared of having your software put into a proprietary piece of software, then the GPL will seem better

Free licences[edit]

• free software

software that ensures that the end users have freedom in using, studying, sharing and modifying that software. The term "free" is used in the sense of "free speech," not of "free of charge."... the source code must be made available to you.

• open software

nearly all #free software is open source, and nearly all open source software is free.

Какая лицензия больше всего соответствует духу открытого программного обеспечения ?[edit]
